The Sandringham 6 was specially developed for DNL, whose routes were to the north of the Arctic Circle with continuous darkness for up to six months of the year and where compasses were unreliable, routes mountainous and storms frequent. To help in countering these conditions they carried ASV Mk 6C, PPI, Rebecca, SBA, 2 radio altimeters and 2 radio compasses. The upper deck contained passenger seats instead of the cocktail bar and the passenger total for the two decks was 37.Самолёты на фотографии: Short Sandringham - Великобритания - 1945
