| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two views of the Short Sunderland flying boat in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. An upper side-profile view shows the aircraft in flight, while a larger top-down plan view occupies the central field, highlighting the distinctive broad hull and four-engine wingspan of this iconic Royal Air Force maritime patrol aircraft. The inscription SHORT SUNDERLAND appears in the lower central field, flanked by two decorative bullet points. The bold circular legend HISTORY OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE arcs across the upper periphery, while FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border. |
