| Ther may still be a Sunderland Mk.5 fuselage beached at the Chatham islands east of New Zealand if anyone has the time money and energy ? It was used as a chicken coop by a farmer after it struck a rock. Best person to contact is Craig Emeny of Air Chathams. His father was a wartime fighter pilot in the UK. |
