Photo Comment
The Short Sealand is a very rare type of aircraft, out of 25 built, only three exist today! During 1952, the Indian Navy ordered a batch of ten Sealands, which were built to an enhanced specification. Accordingly, these aircraft featured dual controls, increased fuel capacity and uprated engines. All ten aircraft were delivered between January and November 1953 and retired around 1965. IN106 was first reported with the museum in October 1998. This photo is copyright © Wim Sonneveld, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
