Replica flying boat ‘will be a spectacular landmark’

A life-size replica of a flying boat was unveiled there on July 2, and the 25ft-high tail section will be welded into position over the next few days.

After it is attached to the fuselage it will dominate the main street of the village where flying boats landed in the 1930s and 40s.
