One of the best videos I have seen on this site. Good footage and a careful choice of music. What made the film was the gravesstones at the end, how enlightening, That really brought the story home. I often find my attention drawn to those who are forgotten at times or remembrance and hope that these men are remembered by all at such times.

My father went through his log book with me, and throughout there were people he crewed with, who later "went out and didn't come back" with other crews. Coastal Command lost more men per capita than even Bomber Command. There are a number of great books. Try Ivan Southall's "They Shall Not Pass Unseen", about 461Sqn RAAF for a day to day account. I have an extensive collection of books, DVD's and videos, as well as photos from his war service. Ross

There were Sunderlands that went out on patrol in the north atlantic and that was it...the last anyone saw of them ...no distress messages.. no wreckage found.. no nothing... just gone and not just one or two..plenty of them..theres a book about them and it lists them all .Worth a look and then think about it and remember them

It sank on its moorings, I actually know someone who saw it go down!!!

i think this video is really inspiring my grandad flew as a rear airgunner in this plane a week before it crahsed he then went on to another short sunderland and used to throw eggs out the window those were the good days

Hello - I was interested to read that you had records of all Sunderlands built: do you have photos at all? I am trying to find a photo of W6076 (95/D), which my father captained in West Africa in 1944/5. I believe that it was scuttled off Bathurst (now Banjul) shortly after VE Day. I've found photos of W6075 and 6077, but 6076 seems very elusive! I understand that many Sunderlands were scuttled at Bathurst - perhaps a good diving location!
regards

All the list says about W6076 is that is was Struck off Charge on 21st June 1945. Perhaps on my next visit to the archives I could pull the movement card and it could shed more light on what happened to it.
