Saro Lerwick
The Saunders-Roe A.36 Lerwick was a British flying boat built by the Saunders Roe Limited (Saro). It was intended to serve alongside the Short Sunderland in the Royal Air Force's Coastal Command but it was a flawed design and only a small number were built. They had a poor service record and a high accident rate - out of 21 aircraft 10 were lost to accidents and one lost for unknown reasons.
