[edit] Short Sunderland / Short Sandringham

Hi, am confused by your comment that the Sunderland MR5 was a Sandringham variant, (the Sandringham, after all, was a post war variant of the Sunderland?) Winstonwolfe 01:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I may have been overeager in this edit, as I was of the understanding that the TEAL Shorts were Sandringham versions. So I thought that the one on display would have to be one as well. Excuse my sloppiness, and if you have any real reason to believe that the Motat version is not a Sandringham, please change it back. MadMaxDog 08:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt answer, Sorry, will rv as;

1. MoTaT has an RNZAF Short Sunderland, AND a Short flying boat used by Teal - they are two different aircraft &

2. Teal used three different Shorts flying boats, the Short S.30, the Short Sandringham and the Short Solent, MoTaTs preserved Teal boat is actually a Solent.Winstonwolfe 01:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
