201 Squadron's Sunderland 5 is moored in the River Thames next to Tower Bridge during the 1956 Battle of Britain week. Based at RAF Pembroke Dock, the aircraft had landed lower down the river and taxied here for exhibition. 201 Squadron retired their Sunderlands in February 1957, being replaced by Shackleton MR.3s. DP198 had been built as a Mark III by Shorts Windermere factory in December 1943.

Seen arriving for the 2005 Waddington Airshow, this aircraft carries special markings to commemorate 90 years of No 12 Squadron. The effect is rather spoilt by the fact that the rudder has had to be replaced and it appears to be in primer.

A sad end for this former Empire Test Pilots School aircraft. It was on the dump at Cranwell as a source of spares for the Aircraft Maintenance Instruction Flight aircraft. As of summer 2011 at Welbeck DSFC, still looking sorry for itself but since moved to Bruntingthorpe for restoration
