Sunderland in the Chatham Islands

Posted by Cees Broere on Wed Jan 09, 2002 04:06:45 AM

Hi All,

It was reported in FlyPast some years ago that a NZ Sunderland had crashed in the Chatham Islands and that
it had been left behind. Parts of it were used by the locals for various uses. Does anyone know if the remains
are still to be found there. I am especially curious about the wings which should also be there. Reason for this is that a lot of partnumbers of the Sunderland are also used for the Strling wings.

Dave, do you know more about this aircraft?

Cheers

Cees (wanting to see a Stirling materialize before his retirement in 30 years time)
