Detailed Description

This Corgi AA31701 model depicts the Short Sunderland Mk V, aircraft ML827, coded WH-C, one of the RAF Coastal Command flying boats that served extensively during the final years of the Second World War.

The Mk V was the ultimate development of the Sunderland line, featuring improved Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines, enhanced defensive armament, and upgraded ASW (anti-submarine warfare) equipment. These aircraft flew long-range patrols over the Atlantic, hunting U-boats, escorting convoys, and conducting vital search-and-rescue missions.

Corgi’s 1:144 die-cast model captures the distinctive high-wing flying boat configuration with:

• Accurate Coastal Command camouflage
• Detailed multi-gun turrets
• Hull and planing-surface detail
• Printed RAF markings “WH-C”
• Collector display stand
• A superb addition for collectors of WWII maritime patrol aircraft, RAF Coastal Command, and British flying boats.
