EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the Supermarine Stranraer, a stately biplane flying boat that graced the skies during the late 1930s. With its sleek design and distinctive features, the Stranraer stands out as a unique aviation marvel of its time. As one of the last biplane flying boats produced before the onset of World War II, the Stranraer holds a special place in aviation history. Its enclosed cockpit was a first for this type of aircraft, offering pilots protection and comfort unheard of in their open-air predecessors. The Stranraer's elegant lines and impressive capabilities made it a sight to behold. Capable of carrying up to 16 passengers and a crew of three, it was an essential transport aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the years leading up to the war. Despite its advanced design and impressive capabilities, the Stranraer was already becoming obsolete by the time this photograph was taken. The rapid advancements in aviation technology during the late 1930s rendered it outdated, and it would soon be replaced by more modern aircraft. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the transitional period in aviation history, when the stately biplane flying boats like the Supermarine Stranraer gave way to more advanced designs. It is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the engineers and pilots of the time, who pushed the boundaries of what was possible in flight." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
