A Short "Sunderland" flying boat" - number ML796 ... developed as a long-range patrol [anti-submarine] aircraft for the RAF in 1938, but also used for rescuing mariners from torpedoed shipping & crashed aircraft. A total of 749 were built. Retired from the RAF in 1959, but served with the RNZAF until 1967. It's missing the wing support sponsons, yet to be re-fitted [i understand this is after a recent move & repaint}. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland
