Talk:Saunders-Roe A.36 Lerwick/@comment-28934143-20160705150207

The plane shown in the image is not a Saunders-Roe A.36 Lerwick. According to Wikipedia, there were only 21 ever built, and they were all destroyed by 1943. Also, it doesn't even look like the named plane, nor did Japan ever operate any.

It is very likely a Grumman HU-16 Albatross (without nose radar). Also, this plane shows up in Mothra vs. Godzilla.
