Short Sunderland flying boats.

Queen's Island, Belfast, 1943.

I asked last year, so interested to see what new followers think...

A photo taken by an unknown British civilian on Sunday, Sept. 15, 1940, showing a German Dornier Do 17 bomber plummeting from the sky toward London's Victoria Station. Sept. 15 marked a major turning point in the Battle of Britain; the RAF's defeat of large-scale Luftwaffe raids led to the indefinite postponement of Operation Sea Lion, Hitler's plan to invade the United Kingdom.
