The Short Sandringham was an airliner derivative of the Short Sunderland military flying boat. It was used by the BOAC as the Plymouth class and TEAL on the Auckland to Sydney route and flights to Pacific Islands. It was used by Ansett on the Sydney to Lord Howe Island service. Some of Ansett's Sandringhams were converted from S-25 Sunderlands previously owned by the Royal New Zealand Air Force. It was also used in Norway by DNL - Norwegian Airlines 1946 - 1952 on the domestic service from Oslo to Tromsø.

All the Sandringham aircraft were conversions from former military Sunderland flying boats.
