My friend and I, Ian Fisher visited the Foynes Flying Boat Museum near Shannon in the Republic of Ireland to see the 1:1 scale mock-up of a B314 Flyingboat. We were bowled away by it's size and the sheer technical and aeronautical marvel it must have been in that time! I hope you enjoy this one. Once the B314 for MSFS is in a good state I will begin doing some videos on how to fly it across the Atlantic to Botwood and beyond.
I filmed the handheld and tripod shot on a Canon EOS R6.

Had many crew layovers at Shannon many years back, enjoyed the layovers and great duty free shopping, however not the food so much.

thanks Ian! Definitely

Great video! So they only made a portion of the port wing and one engine in the mock up? One of my favorite aircraft! Thanks for doing this.

[@PeterMatthess]

yea they didn't have the room there to make both wings to their fullest extent
