Not having heard of the type before, I wondered if there was a Thorp connection due to the S18 (rather than the Shorts product :-))
How do they differ?

Yes the Sunderland is literally the Thorp T-18CW (wide fuselage and foldable wings). The fuselage is also longer and the wing airfoil was redesigned by Lu Sunderland. Thorp and Sunderland worked together to improve the Thorp T-18.
Other difference is that the Thorp T-18 is only available in plan build form. The S-18 can be build from plans, as kit or a mix of both.

Both types run under the Thorp T-18 accaptance as far as the LAA goes.
