Short Shetland

The Short Shetland was a British high-speed long-range four-engined flying-boat built by Short Brothers at Rochester Kent for use in the Second World War. It was designed to meet an Air Ministry requirement for a very-long range reconnaissance flying boat. The design used the company's experience with large scale production of the Short Sunderland.
