Heston Scion Senior 1937 Short
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Short S.22 Scion Senior G-AECU at Heston Airfield in 1937" The Short S.22 Scion Senior G-AECU, a classic example of pre-World War II aviation technology, is captured in this striking photograph taken at Heston Airfield in 1937. The Short Brothers' Short S.22 Scion Senior was a popular training aircraft during the interwar period, known for its versatility and reliability. This particular aircraft, registered as G-AECU, showcases the elegant design and streamlined features that made the Scion Senior a favorite among pilots and trainers. The image reveals the aircraft's open cockpit, which offered an unobstructed view of the sky for the student pilot and instructor. The biplane configuration, with its two wings connected by struts, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The metal fuselage and fabric-covered wings are adorned with the distinctive Short Brothers' insignia, adding a touch of pride and identity to the aircraft. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the atmosphere of Heston Airfield during the late 1930s. The grassy runway, the scattered aircraft, and the simple yet functional hangars all contribute to the nostalgic charm of this bygone era. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the history and evolution of aviation. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and now available through Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable addition to any aviation enthusiast's collection. It not only showcases the Short S.22 Scion Senior G-AECU in its prime but also offers a glimpse into the history of aviation and the charm of a bygone era.
