EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in aviation history - the naming ceremony of the Short Sunderland Mk. I L2160 Selangor by the Sultan of Selangor in October 1938. The majestic aircraft, with its sleek design and powerful engines, stands proudly at Port Swettenham as it is christened by royalty.
The significance of this event cannot be understated, as it symbolizes the close relationship between the Royal Air Force and the Sultanate of Selangor. It also highlights the importance of air transport in connecting distant lands and fostering international relations.
As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to a time when aviation was still in its infancy, yet already showing great promise for the future. The Short Sunderland Mk. I L2160 Selangor represents not just a mode of transportation, but a symbol of progress and innovation.
Thanks to The Peter Butt Aviation Collection's meticulous preservation efforts, we are able to witness this momentous occasion with clarity and detail. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of flight technology, while also honoring those who paved the way for modern aviation.
