Photo Comment

Undergoing restoration in a cluttered hangar at San Juan, a few months after British millionaire Edward Hulton had purchased it from Antilles Air Boats. He would fly this Sunderland to the UK two years later, where it became G-BJHS in Sep 1981. In 1993 it went to Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight Museum in Florida.
