LN-LAI Short
S.25 Sandringham 6
(c/n SH.62C)
Two more
Sandringhams were supplied by Short Bros to DNL to replace those lost in
accidents (see
entry for LN-IAV). They were LN-LAI, "Jutulen" seen above in this
nice study from SAS, and LN-LMK "Polarbjorn" . The above
machine was formerly
a RAF Coastal Command Sunderland, serial
number W4037. Both were absorbed into
the SAS fleet, although disposed of
shortly thereafter. LN-LAI was chartered to
France-
Hydro and sank off Bangui, in French Equatorial
Africa in November of 1952.
