A pretty good replica. Of course, not a single 314 survived to be preserved, more's the pity. But this re-creation would give one a good idea of what it must have been like if one had actually survived.
I thought that Boeing Clipper was under cold water in Ireland, still in good condition. Was it finally raised. Boy, there's lottsa room. The cockpit is huge , seemingly comfortable, passenger area ...wow. I worked for charter airlines afterwards, even did service for Air Linguis , as FA. I worked at PAA was there day it closed...no one knew, it was quite shocking . I received my last paycheck that day. All these years later remembered. Mark M., Miami.

The glory days of luxury air travel
It still exists for those with money.
Yknow. Aka. Luxury lol
Makes me wonder how far they could fly with MODERN turboprop engines. I still love the boxy shape of the old 314.
Turboprops are not known for their fuel efficiency.
It's oddly beautiful, isn't it?
It is a classy looking machine!
Nice thanks for posting this!
Well done with the Museum!

It is an incredible replica - you can walk throughout the cabin
Two 314 clippers still exist. Sadly they are at the bottom of the ocean
Sadly that also applies to almost every flying boat :'(
It’s a great replica and well worth the visit
Thanks for this 👍🇳🇿✈️
You are most welcome. Check out all our other Irish transport videos
This was when international air travel was for the rich! The rest of the world traveled by slow boat!

Hi Mark, this is a recreation of the Boeing Clipper.
When I am back in Ireland, I am coming for a visit!!!
We look forward to welcoming you!
What a way to travel, that's a replica that looks like it was built by Boeing. Thanks for your time and work in posting your videos.....
Glad you liked our video. Lots more to come.....
If a family owned one, they could visit more places on Earth than 90% of humanity.
Holy shit there's one left? Kermit Weeks needs to buy it and restore it to flying condition.
