What a beauty and a fine tribute to those who flew on them. My dad worked at Shorts in Rochester on Sunderlands during the war. To see these big boats taking off from the Medway must have been spectacular.
Wow flown in a Shorts Sunderland, last flight to Oz,,'bout 1957/8,took a week,via Southampton, Marseille,Brindisi,Athens,Aden,Bombay,Madras,Hong Kong,Singapore,Darwin,bring them on,awesome,thanks
Beautiful to watch. My grandad was on the short Sunderland's in WW2 and covered the middle east like Mike's father. Particularly Singapore I believe. If Mike reads this I'd be interested if he has any further information as I'd love to know more about my grandad service. Take care all.

My Dad helped to build the first Empire Boats, and I have an original painting of Canopus, G-ADHL. This video broke me up!

I used to watch at Rochester. I’m 91 now.
Such a lovely plane,that's an amazing flight time with 4 motors and only 1 3s lipo. Fantastic 👍
A beautiful model on a perfect day with excellent filming. It looks even more majestic in slow motion at the end.
Many thanks Derrick!
My goodness! She's a beauty!
It's a pleasure to see her take to the air, and to land on the water again. You should be justly proud, Sir! 👍🏼

It flies and it floats,, that takes skill to build that!
Nice slow flybys....That was pleasant to watch... Didn't see how big it was until he pulled it out of the water.
100" wingspan and about 7lbs weight
SUPERB!
Fantastic, what more can you say.
Glad you enjoyed it!
