Short S.25 Sunderland, гражданские конверсии и Sandringham

<...>
   Более эстетически привлекательным стал вариант Sandringham, у которого носовая и хвостовая турели были закрыты обтекателями. Первый такой самолет появился в ноябре 1945 года, он оснащался двигателями Pegasus. Более поздние экземпляры имели уже двигатели Pratt & Whitney Twin Wasp R-1830-92 мощностью 1200 л. с. и вмещали на двух палубах 45 пассажиров.
   По стандарту Sandringham переоборудовали около 30 самолетов различных вариантов. Они использовались не только в британской авиакомпании BOAC, но и в Аргентине, Австралии, Новой Зеландии, Норвегии, Уругвае и др. Последний переоборудованный в гражданский транспортный вариант самолет был снят с эксплуатации компанией "Ansett Flying Boat Services" в 1974 году.

Soon to leave UK skies, perhaps for ever, Short Sunderland flying-boat G-BJHS is seen here over the Solent on August 3, 1989, while briefly wearing the sponsorship colours of Ryanair. As reported in last December’s Grapevine, the aircraft’s new owner Kermit Weeks will be taking it to Florida this spring.

On September 18, 1991, six days before it was put up for auction (and failed to sell) in London, Edward Hulton’s Short Sunderland G-BJHS made a publicity flight for Sotheby’s over the Solent. The magnificent white flying-boat - the sole airworthy example - was photographed by FRANCOIS PRINS from a Royal Navy Gazelle helicopter, based at RNAY Fleetlands and piloted by Lt-Cdr Kevin Ratcliffe. Piloting the Sunderland was Mike Searle, with Ken Emmott as captain and Geoff Masterton as flight engineer.

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.

The following day it positioned at Studland, where it commenced a programme of passenger flights. Trips were offered to the public at ?15 per head, and flights overflew the old seaplane bases at Calshot and Cowes. One visitor to the flight deck was former flying boat captain Bill Craig, who last flew boats 30 years ago (photo). The pleasure flights were arranged by M. M. Aviation in support of the Air Training Corps and aircraft preservation interests.

During the night of July 26, 1976 vandals removed an inspection panel from the starboard tip float. Choppy seas filled the float, causing the boat to list badly to starboard (photo), and it had to be towed to the calmer, shallower waters of Poole where the float was pumped dry and flying resumed. Unfortunately all of Friday’s flights had to be cancelled.

Five months after suffering severe damage in the Great Storm of October 1987, Short Sunderland G-BJHS still sits outdoors at Chatham, its starboard wing bandaged for the winter. Despite its sorry state, there has been renewed interest in it recently from potential buyers in Australia and Northern Ireland.

Short Sunderland G-BJHS, still missing its starboard outer wing, but soon to be complete and airworthy again, is winched into No 7 Covered Slip at Chatham Dockyard on November 14. It was a tricky, diagonal manoeuvre: the slip's middle bay is 80ft wide, while the Sunderland - which for a Short aircraft is quite long - has a span of 112ft and a length of 89ft.
