The Solent is the E-class Empire boat's great-grandson:

Found it :D: http://www.seawings.co.uk/solentplangal.htm these are the most detailed plans for the Short Solent that I was able to find.

Gary Pilsworth has announced that he will be doing the Solent after he finishes the Short Stirling

Well I guess I'll look for something else cause i think he will get to it before I do.

Willja, how about having a crack at the Nazi flying wing from Raiders of the Lost Ark - it night be taken as in theme with your Moonbat and F2G...?

Fascinating! I would have gone to my grave swearing that I had seen a Boeing 314 in Raiders. Shows how the memory can play tricks. Thanks for all this info (especially Dave's photos and your inside info, Chris).

I always thought that thing was kinda ugly. I have to like a plane to model it and the flying wing just doesn't do it for me.

For another Pan Am flying boat in the movies, check out the Martin M-130 that features, as a matte painting and a partial mockup, in "The Phantom".
