EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of elegance and sophistication from the golden age of aviation. Taken by renowned photographer Charles E. Brown for the Royal Air Force Museum, the image depicts passengers boarding the Short S.23 C-Class flying boat G-AEUF, affectionately known as "Corinthian," at Marseilles in 1939. The Short S.23 C-Class was a marvel of interwar aviation technology, designed by the British aircraft manufacturer Short Brothers. With its sleek lines, spacious cabin, and impressive range, it was a popular choice for transatlantic flights during the late 1930s. The aircraft's ability to take off and land on water made it an ideal solution for Imperial Airways' routes that traversed the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. In this photograph, we see the passengers, dressed in their finest travel attire, making their way from the dock to the floating staircase that leads up to the flying boat's entrance. The crew, clad in their uniforms, stand ready to assist, ensuring a smooth and efficient boarding process. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of excitement and anticipation as the passengers prepare to embark on their journey. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the glamour and adventure associated with air travel during this era. It also highlights the technical prowess of the aviation industry, which enabled people to traverse vast distances and connect with different parts of the world in a way that was previously unimaginable.
