FS-BERLIN ARCHIVE- Short
Sunderland Mk III , RAF
The Short Sunderland was used in the Berlin Airlift 1948/49. At some times  there were ten flying boats on their way between Hamburg and Berlin, where they landed on the river Havel and were unloaded by boat. Among other things they transported salt, which could not be brought with normal airplanes, which were suspectible to corrision. These flying boats were resistant to saltwater, they therefore had no problems with rust.
