Inside the Cockpit of the Short Sunderland

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Great that Nigel. Can't believe it's nearly 22 years since I was sat in her over at Kermit's place. Hope he gets her flying again.

Last time I was over at Kermits..
They would only get it flying again if ( big if) someone would come up with the funding to do it.

Thanks for the link ;)
I see that it's part 2; I noticed part 1 in the margin, will have a leisurely look later.

PS...I've never been to Kermit's :|

Thanks for putting up the missing links Joe as I only posted as Kermit was showing the cockpit area.

I have watched some of his videos and by all accounts he is a very experienced pilot.

Regards
Nigel.
