SHORT S45 SOLENT

$9.95

Title: Short S45 Solent No’s 1 and 2

The Short Solent civil flying boat was adapted from a development of the Short Sunderland military flying boat. A new version initally designated the Sunderland Mk IV was developed using the Bristol Hercules engine. The differences became so extensive that the aircraft was re-designated the Seaford. This model had not entered active service by the end of WW2, and the 20 examples built were converted to civil airliners and re-named Solent.

The Solent only had a short service life before becoming obsolete. A few odd examples remained in service during the 1950’s in the Pacific area.

We offer two titles covering the Short Solent. The first title contains a preliminary pilot’s notes for the Solent and the maintenance manual for the Solent 3 which also contains flying instructions, along with a manufacturer’s brochure on the contemporary Short aircraft range. The second contains the maintenance manual for the Solent 4, Flight Notes for the Solent and a manufacturer’s brochure on the later Sandringham flying boat. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. Each title is US$9.95.
