03/12/2003. Remarks by Chris Pinn: "The prototype Sunderland K4774 first flew on October 16, 1937 and service began soon after in June 1938 with 210 and 230 Squadrons. The weather-beaten grey/green camouflaged aircraft featured, Sunderland Mk.I L 2163 DA-G, was the sixth production aircraft from the initial batch of eleven. The photo was taken early in the war when L 2163 was serving with 210 Squadron at Pembroke Dock. A total of 90 Mk.I's were built." |
