Cees,
The one on the Chatham Islands (NZ4111)I no longer have the information for, it looks as If it went missing when I moved house a few years ago. I do know where I got the information from, however, it was from a tourist information site for the Chathams on the net. As it is a relatively small island they knew who to tell me to contact.
The Sunderland on the net is a Sandringham, ex Qantas, VH-EBW , and is intact and sitting in 41m of water in Port Vila Harbour, Vanuatu.
Last time I checked it was

There is another sunken Sunderland, in the Howe Islands, it is mentioned in the book about ML814, I think it was called "The Last Flying Boat" but I'll have to check.
many apologies I thought I still had the info.
