EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short S.16 Scion II G-ADDX, a vintage aircraft that once graced the skies above Plymouth-Roborough Airport in the late 1930s. The Short S.16, manufactured by Short Brothers in the United Kingdom, was a two-engine, eight-seat transport aircraft that first flew in 1935. This particular aircraft, registered as G-ADDX, was a part of the Plymouth Airport Limited fleet. The image captures the Scion II in all its glory, with its distinctive streamlined fuselage and elegant wings. The aircraft is parked on the grassy runway, surrounded by lush greenery and a few trees, giving a sense of tranquility and serenity. The clear blue sky and the sun peeking through the clouds add to the idyllic scene. The Short S.16 Scion II was an important aircraft in its time, offering a more comfortable and spacious cabin compared to its predecessors. It was also known for its reliability and versatility, making it a popular choice for both private and commercial use. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of aviation and the role that Plymouth Airport played during that era. The Short S.16 Scion II G-ADDX may no longer be in service, but it remains an iconic symbol of aviation history and a reminder of the wonder and excitement that came with early air travel.
