Incorrect image in "Infobox"
[edit]Image is an unconverted Sunderland...anyone have a Sandringham pic? Winstonwolfe 01:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC) The tail of one in Image:KN-K RNZAF Catalina.JPG doesn't count ;-)Winstonwolfe 06:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- In theory there's this, but in practice it's an arty close-up shot of the cockpit that's less useful as a general illustration that the current image. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 17:29, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

- I've removed the incorrect image, as it could be misleading to the uninformed reader. I've located a couple of Sandringham images in "Aerolineas Argentinas" service, but I'm still unsure of the copyright status (will upload them when I clarify this a bit further).

Sandringham in Argentina
[edit]Finally! I was able to find "verifiable" evidence of this plane being in service in Argentina, in the fleet of Aerolineas Argentinas when it was created in 1950. Unfortunately, the article is in spanish only, although the source is well regarded (the magazine "Aeroespacio", published by the Argentine Air Force). Here is the link to the online version:

Sandringham or Sunderland?
[edit]Trying to remember where I'd heard about a surviving Short Sunderland about 20 years ago, I eventually recalled it was at a museum in Southampton, only to find, when I went to their webpage they shockingly only(!) have a Short Sandringham. My impression has always been that aircraft identification is very precise, but I'm confused, particulalry when I see video on youtube of "The Last Flight of a Sunderland" which is about the Ex-Ansett Sandringham now in the Fantasy of Flight Museum where they call it a Sunderland. As a very much non-expert in this field, but given these apparent vagaries in delineation, I wonder if the Sunderland and Sandringham pages might possibly be better merged into one?

- The Sandringham is a conversion of a Sunderland, so sources will refer to Sandringhams as Sunderland and occasionally vice-versa. It's probably better to keep the two articles separate as they are both long enough and detailed enough to stand on their own.Nigel Ish (talk) 22:59, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
