Popped down to see Mrs D's nan today in Woolston. Wandered over the bridge to this place. Solent Sky Museum, Home of the Spitfire, Southampton, UK Nice little Museum. Were invited up on the flight deck of the Short Sandringham. Perviously a Sunderland. That was great, kids loved it and so did Dad. Short S.25/V Sandringham 4 - VH-BRC Beachcomber This aircraft was originally built by Short Brothers at Rochester as a standard Sunderland Mk.III general reconnaissance flying-boat with the serial number JM715. There was a huge lace memorial to the Battle of Britain which I thought was really well crafted. Worth a look if you're ever in Southampton.
