Graeme and Charles, I am still unclear on a few things. Can you please help me with... THE TAIL. I Understand the ventral fin additions but what about on top? Does the MKV (355)have the standard rudder profile and the MKIX (385?) the larger modified rudder straight leading edge ...

Thanks very much ozhawk, exactly what i was looking for.

Thanks to all. I think my question is resolved. Seems my friends must be talking about PBYs.

Wildcat, I wasnt around then so could be wrong, but old gents down the road talk about getting lollies from the pilots and watching them takeoff during their childhood days. Maybe they were PBY pilots??

Would anyone know where i might find info regarding Sunderland flying boats based in Perth WA during WW@?
