Incidentally I believe the flying boat seen in the film was a Short Solent.

Indeed it was – see the February 2006 FlyPast for the Solent’s story

I read somewhere that the “flying wing” in “Raiders” was based on German Horten designs – but it is wrong for the period (1936). Apparently the aircraft used was a very realistic non – flying replica constructed by British Aerospace.

It doesn’t have a name.

It is a flight of Holywood fantasy. Though loosely based around some late war German projects.
