At the time of the author’s visit, Fantasy of Flight’s Short Sunderland was decked out in pre-Christmas lights (rather undignified, many enthusiasts would say), to display its outline to passing motorists on the Interstate 4 highway. It was placed at the end of the southern runway, in full view of potential customers. This aircraft began life as Sunderland III ML814 and was converted into a Sandringham, serving with Ansett Flying Boat Services of Australia as VH-BRF Islander, and then with Antilles Air Boats as N158J Excalibur VIII, operating out of the Virgin Islands. Before Weeks acquired it, the flying-boat was owned by Edward Hulton and registered in the UK as G-BJHS.
