Landing a Sunderland on the open ocean was fraught with danger, as its thin hull and planing surfaces were never designed to withstand a pounding from large waves and heavy seas. Despite this many crews alighted to pick up the survivors of shot-down aircraft. One such incident occurred in the Bay of Biscay on 13 July 1942, when a No 77 Squadron Whitley crew was picked up by a Sunderland from the newly-formed No 461 Squadron RAAF. This scene was one of a number reconstructed later back at Mount Batten for the benefit of an official photographer.}}
