A Pan Am Short Solent?

It is probably terribly 'old hat' to some, but I came across this image recently.  However, it doesn't make a lot of sense, as AFAIK, Pan Am never operated any British flying boats.

It may possibly be something off a movie (title unknown), but I can't find-out anything about either the movie, the circumstances, or, most importantly, the aircraft.  One from Kermit Week's collection perhaps?


Can anyone provide the details?


Thanks.

The Film "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The aircraft is an ex BOAC, ex Howard Hughes Mk 3, now with the Oakland Aviation Museum, California.
