EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short S.25 Sunderland III, registration number G-AGJM, as it gracefully taxis along the shoreline of Hythe, a picturesque coastal town in England. The Sunderland III, a versatile flying boat produced by Short Brothers, is renowned for its significant role in maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare during World War II. Its distinctive hull design, which allows it to take off and land on water, made it an essential asset for the Royal Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force. The image captures the essence of the Sunderland III's versatility, as it is seen here in a transport role, likely ferrying passengers or cargo between coastal locations. The aircraft's spacious interior, which could accommodate up to 24 passengers, made it an ideal choice for such missions. The image also highlights the aircraft's impressive size, with its wingspan stretching over 110 feet and its length exceeding 75 feet. The photograph was taken at Hythe, a charming town located in the English county of Kent. The town's serene coastal setting, with its sandy beaches and clear waters, provides a striking backdrop for the Sunderland III. The image not only showcases the aircraft's capabilities but also transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich aviation history of the United Kingdom during the mid-20th century.
