EDITORS COMMENTS
G-AFCU, a beautifully preserved Short S30 Empire Flying Boat, is seen gracefully taking off from the water in this photograph. The Short S30, also known as the Empire Class Flying Boat, was a British-designed and built amphibian aircraft that served a crucial role during the interwar period and the early years of World War II. This particular aircraft, registered as G-AFCU and named Cabot, is a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the time. The Short S30 was a versatile aircraft, capable of carrying up to 22 passengers or 8,000 pounds of cargo, making it an essential asset for transporting goods and people over long distances, especially in areas with limited infrastructure. The Empire Flying Boats were renowned for their ability to take off and land on water, making them ideal for operations in remote locations or areas with poor ground conditions. The hull of the aircraft was designed to be strong and robust, allowing it to withstand the rigors of water takeoffs and landings. This photograph captures the essence of the Short S30 Empire Flying Boat's unique capabilities, as it lifts off the water, leaving a trail of spray behind. The image is a reminder of a bygone era, when aviation was still a new and exciting frontier, and the possibilities seemed endless. The Short S30 Empire Flying Boat, G-AFCU, Cabot, remains an iconic symbol of aviation history, and this photograph is a testament to its enduring legacy.
