The best ASW ship of the lot - at least equal to the Shack - happy days from long ago, thanks for keeping them fresh and alive.
Ray Agius replied:
Thank you Patrick. This is part of a future exhibition of the October 1942 Pedestal Convoy to Malta. Sunderlands used to fly from Gibraltar to guide short range Spitfires flown off Aircraft Carriers for the defence of Malta. We must keep them mentally alive.:o)

What a lovely 'guppy'. Love the light, and the composition. Strong, soft and powerful.
