Yeah, the Pembroke was the RAF version of the Sea Prince. The
shortness of the wings certainly, to me, rules out the Tracker, which,
because of its unusual wing-fold, couldn't be these. I know I'm getting
desparate now but could it be something with the outer wings removed
prior to scrapping?
Somebody must know!
