RM2JN93PX–Short Sunderland Mark I of No. 10 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Detachment based at Oban, Argyll, about to take off from Oban Bay. At the outbreak of the Second World War, 39 Sunderlands were in service with the RAF. Sunderlands quickly proved useful in the rescue of the crews from torpedoed ships and as British anti-submarine measures improved, the Sunderland began to inflict losses as well. The Germans are reputed to have nicknamed the Sunderland the 'Flying Porcupine' due to its defensive firepower.
