1. Title: "Cooee": The Historic Short S23 Empire Flying Boat VH-ABF of Qantas The captivating image showcases the iconic Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, registration number VH-ABF, affectionately known as "Cooee," during its tenure with Qantas (formerly G-AFBL of Imperial Airways). This vintage aircraft, a testament to aviation history, is a unique blend of a plane and a boat, designed for transport over water. The Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, manufactured by Short Brothers in the United Kingdom, was a significant advancement in long-range, amphibious aircraft technology during the 1930s. With its distinctive hull and impressive range, it revolutionized air travel, particularly on long-haul routes. VH-ABF, initially registered as G-AFBL in the Imperial Airways fleet, was later acquired by Qantas in 1937. The aircraft played a crucial role in Qantas' expansion, connecting Australia with the rest of the world via the South Pacific. Its distinctive red and white livery became synonymous with the growing Australian aviation industry. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when air travel was an adventure and the world seemed a little smaller with each new route explored. The Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, VH-ABF, Cooee, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those early pioneers who braved the skies and the seas to connect people and places across vast distances. The image is a reminder of the rich history of aviation, a history that continues to inspire and captivate us today. It is a story of innovation, exploration, and the human spirit's unyielding desire to reach new horizons.
