Detailed Description

This Corgi AA31702 model represents the Short Sunderland flying boat operated by BOAC during the Second World War, registered G-AGHW.

Although best known as an RAF patrol aircraft, several Sunderlands were demilitarised and flown by BOAC on long-range transport missions, notably between Britain, Africa, and neutral territories. These aircraft carried passengers, diplomatic mail, and essential wartime cargo, often on hazardous ocean routes.

Corgi’s 1:144 die-cast model captures the Sunderland’s distinctive hull, four-engine layout, and parasol wing. Finished in BOAC’s wartime civil colours, it includes meticulous printed details, printed windows, and a collector display stand.

A superb choice for fans of flying boats, BOAC history, and unique wartime civilian operations.
