Built as a Sunderland 3 at Windermere in 1943 and later converted to Mark 5 standard. Latterly operated by 205 Squadron based at Seletar and took part in the last RAF Sunderland sortie on 15 May 1959. Scrapped afterwards at Seletar. Image obtained from an RAF crew member 30 years ago.

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.
