Location is Lough Erne Co. Fermanagh N.Ireland during WWII. RAF Castle Archdale was the base and some of my better informed friends will be able to identify the squadron as they changed frequently during the war years. This is exceptional footage.

My dad's uncle was a crew member of a Sunderland flying boat in WW2. Sadly, drowned saving a child in the last month of the war.

Truly beautiful plane

@GrahamInnes1

What a superb movie. A unique snapshot in time of this superb British Arcraft. If this is Castle Archdale, it is eather fitting that the aircraft were built in Belfast.

Why bother posting this film when it's got NO BLOODY SOUND!?!

There should be a Short Sunderland (and Stirling) to view in Northern Ireland where they were built. We need such examples of our engineering heritage to encourage our current kids to believe in themselves, and hopefully create a new technical engineering base in N.I. I dont think many if any Stirlings exist, but theres a few Sunderlands still around. One belongs in Northern Ireland.
