Short Sunderland

Short S.25 Sunderland je bil štirimotorni patruljni bombnik, ki ga je razvil britanski Short Brothers za Kraljeve letalske sile (RAF). Prvič je poletel oktobra 1937 in se je široko uporabljal v drugi svetovni vojni. Pozneje se je uporabljal tudi v korejski vojni. V RAF je bil v uporabi do leta 1959, na Novi Zelandiji (RNZAF) pa do leta 1967. Poimenovan je po kraju Sunderland v severnovzhodni Angliji. Deloma je zasnovan na podlagi letečega čolna S.23 Empire.

Nekaj letal so kasneje predelali v potniške Short Sandringhame, ki so bili v uporabi do leta 1974.
