EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the first flight of the Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, G-ADHM, affectionately known as Caledonia, on September 11, 1936, at Rochester in England. The Short S23 was a remarkable flying boat designed by Short Brothers for the British Air Ministry, with the primary objective of providing long-range transport capabilities for the Royal Air Force. The sleek and elegant Caledonia is seen here taking off from the water, its powerful engines roaring in the background, as a large crowd gathers on the shore to witness this groundbreaking aviation milestone. The Short S23 was a significant departure from traditional flying boats, boasting advanced features such as retractable landing gear and a spacious cabin that could accommodate up to 21 passengers. This photograph is a testament to the pioneering spirit of aviation during the interwar period and the relentless pursuit of innovation in aircraft design. The Short S23 Empire Flying Boat, G-ADHM, went on to serve with distinction in various roles, including maritime patrol and air-sea rescue, before being retired from service in the late 1950s. Today, it remains an important chapter in the annals of aviation history, and a reminder of the awe-inspiring feats achieved by early aviators and engineers.
