EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, registration number G-AETX, affectionately known as Ceres. The Short S23 was a prominent amphibian aircraft type produced by the Short Brothers in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the early to mid-20th century. The Empire Flying Boats were designed primarily for long-range maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and air-sea rescue missions. Their unique hull design allowed them to take off and land on water, making them ideal for operations in remote or inaccessible areas. G-AETX, named Ceres after the Roman goddess of agriculture, was one of the 133 Short S23s built between 1939 and 1945. This particular aircraft served with distinction during World War II, contributing to the Allied efforts in the Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters. In this photograph, Ceres is seen in flight, showcasing its sleek lines and impressive size. The wings, with their distinctive curved leading edges, provide lift while the hull cuts through the water below. The open cockpit allows the crew to scan the horizon for any signs of danger, while the large radial engines power the aircraft through the sky. The Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, represented here by G-AETX, Ceres, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation engineering during a time when the world needed it most. This iconic aircraft continues to capture the imagination of aviation enthusiasts and historians alike, serving as a reminder of the past while inspiring the future.
