I used to cycle down toBelfast Lough whenever one of these flew overhead and watch them come skimming in to land. One day my da sat me in a tiny rowing boat and we went inside one. It seemed huge. Da was an engineer as Shorts. Frickin awesome. I feel so privileged to have had contact with them.
So beautifully passivation some elaborate people who don't believe know the love of looking out for wrong doers or voilaters of law watching from the belly guns of this aircrafts and watching below the water surface would be sensational Fun than the City 🏙️🏙️🌆🌆🏙️🏙️ life 💘 of horrible restrictions.. shortages..curfew in these days.... of modern technology technologiesi
2June, 1943. N for Nuts. My father was second pilot on that plane. Interesting story covered in “ They Shall Not Pass Unseen” by Ian Southall, Sunderland captain from 461 Sqn Pembroke Dock. There is a memorial to the aircraft and crew overlooking Praa Sands, Cornwall, where they beached the aircraft.
Good nickname..i used to be a writer desk jobs..used a lot of pens... hundreds of them.. during my tenure of 30yrs..loved it forget it... that's my jetli styles friends
AWESOME!!!...,great Warbird that displayed most anti sub patrols in North Africa (Squadron 230 RAF Egypt) with various" kills" of Italian Subs in Mediterranean Sea
Brother you gotta lob those rounds into those guys when there a half a mile out like that. I'd hold at least 2 or 3 inches high on my optical. Just sayin.
Should that be taking off with the depth charges deployed on the wings? They should be inboard and moved out on racks when an attack on a submarine was imminent.
Hahahaha That Italian Kamikaze............ Mate if you're wounded/bleeding soon after touchinng the water 1,feather all props 2, engines off 3, bail out after she's stopped :) I know Sunderland well and Love this Fat Lady. flew many fun missions and it's really cool aircraft
Could we make a discord where we have the Il2 1946 community. i am willing to make one as i am new to the game and would love to learn how to mod these things and i would like to possibly get a server going for player to jump onto
Why was it called the flying porcupine? Dive to the deck when under attack by enemy aircraft! Low altitude and speed is your friend in such a circumstance.
@@thegreatdominion949 Well, that describes all large British planes from ww2, none of them had defensive guns underneath! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland

One Sunderland was under attack from several ju 88s and shot few of them down, its prickly defensive armament earned it nickname the flying porcupine

I gotta say I am really enjoying your IL2 videos! Inspired me to install it again and give it another go
Thank you
Or spend half the video starting them.
I love Sunderlands....unnoticed planes of WW2 and great sub hunters!
There's something very soothing about piloting flying boats...
Dich sieht man aber auch überall da, wo Flugzeuge sind xD
Bro Floyd
One for you.. one of my choices ❤️❤️❤️😘 happyness to e-njoy fighting with others
Dear Sir
Simply magnificent!
Yours faithfully

I can't believe the British used 303 machine gun their fighters and bombers in the 1939 until 1942
It was obviously enough seeing as one sunderland 1v8ed a flight of ju88s shooting down three
Beautiful plane. may be some day there will be a flyable Blohm & Voss BV 238.
this plane has killed me many times in silent hunter3.
those fling whale were lethal in that game
YES indeed, they rain death from above if you are not prepared.
for me it's the Liberators moreso than these guys

the flying porcupine. is the base alexandria?

Bristol Perseus rotate clockwise when viewed from the front. Another IL-2 SAS modding error, it's real common with their WWI planes.
why do the propellers spin in the wrong direction? if you look at the blade angle you´ll notice
A video game version of the stroboscopic effect. Rotation and framerate close to lining up.
no, while starting the engines you can clearly see it. At this moment the engines are too slow to be close to the framerate
Great video but the propellers don't move right....
who cares??
Of course the Sunderland was a good air craft made on the Medway in kent .by ex Chatham shipwrights
what a behemoth...

Great videos but why does everybody always start their engines at the same time? Totally unrealistic!
thought those sunderlands had 4 forward firing 20mms
Some had forward firing 4 x 303 machine guns
yep a battery of 303s in the front port side. They could mount 50cals handheld in the flanks also
? Der Zonder Kommado. ?
very good!
Espetacular

Because it fought off 6 or 8 Ju88's ( I think) that attacked one
@@TheHelensp Soft on the underside (no spines/ guns there) dangerous on top.

They were one of the first to have galley guns.
