Well done Peter, a very nice choice of subject! The Indian Navy also operated these before they moved on to helicopters. Really looking forward to the screenshots!

Sorry cannot help, have you tried the museum of Ulster?

Hi Peter,

The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum are rebuilding a Sealand at the minute. The team there should be able to help. I don't have any contact information for them explicitly, but the website is here....

found this link for the Ulster Sealand - http://www.theflightexperience.com/portal.aspx

They seem to be sponsoring the Project

also there is a complete and apparently almost flyable Mk2 at the AirSerbia (former Yugoslavian Air Museum) at Belgrade and another at
Tricomalee minus engines

Im assuming the Ulster project is the hull that sat in new hampshire for twenty years rotting

This is a photo of it that I took in June last year. She was hiding behind a curtain so its not a great shot...

The Ulster folk and transport museum was one of my first points of contand although I've contacted them three times I have had no luck at all regarding help for cockpit details. I have alrady made up a panel which should suffice but obviously I'm still not completely satisfied. Serves me right I guess for choosing difficult subjects but it's fun nevertheless.
I made a mistake regarding the VR-SDS Shell petroleum Singapore it's actually Borneo. Reason being for the purists amongst us was at that time Borneo was under the administration odf Singapore.

Like I said the model is all but complete and once again due to problems at my end I will need to ask if someone would be kind enough to host the pics please. Let me know if you can via private email and I'll email them across.
Thanks people

Try Aeroplane Monthly - IIRC they had a a feature on the Sealand in August 1993. Might be some shots in their archive, whether published or not.
