EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment when Short S.45 Solent 3, registration G-AKNO (msn S.1294), touched down on the Thames at Limehouse Reach on May 5, 1949. The Short Solent 3, a versatile amphibian aircraft, had just completed a flight from its manufacturing base in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to London. The aircraft, which was named "City of London" during a ceremony led by the Lord Mayor at Tower Pier on May 10, 1949, was a significant addition to London's transport infrastructure. The Short S.45 Solent 3 was a popular aircraft during the late 1940s and 1950s, known for its ability to take off and land on both water and land. Its sleek design and innovative engineering made it a favorite among pilots and passengers alike. In this image, we see the aircraft gracefully approaching Tower Bridge, with the iconic London landmark serving as a stunning backdrop. The image captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding the arrival of this new transport option in the heart of the city. The Short S.45 Solent 3, with its distinctive silhouette and powerful presence, was a symbol of progress and innovation during a time when London was rebuilding and modernizing after the devastation of World War II. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation and the transformative power of transportation technology.
