Thankfully, one of the few surviving Short Solent Mk.3 flying boats is
preserved and on public display at the Oakland Aviation Museum, Oakland,
California, USA (near San Francisco). To see more direct from the

The lucky
man that visited this craft, one of the very few surviving Shorts 'big
'boats', was our USA based correspondent
Vladimir Yakubov, and he has
very kindly granted permission to reproduce his images here, for us all
to share. Vladimir is a member of the Sierra Valley Scale Modellers and
they have a superb modelling and reference website; click

to take a look. It's worth it! Our grateful thanks goes to Vladimir.
