Open Day

Last Sunday the Friends of Duxford were able to attend lectures about the Short Sunderland Flying Boat and then go inside the museum's Mark V. The second photo shows the level underneath the flight deck and front turret. The third photo shows the flight deck - look at all that space! - with the radio operator's position to the left and the navigator's table to the right. The flight engineer's table further back controls the flow from the ten fuel tanks to the four engines and the auxiliary power unit, a 2 cylinder engine.
