EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and powerful form of a Fairey IIID seaplane, registration number A10-3 or ANA-3, as it gracefully touches down at Point Cooke, Australia. The Fairey IIID, also known as the Fairy IIIF or the "Flying Boat," was a British-designed long-range flying boat used primarily for maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare during the mid-20th century. The image captures the moment of the plane's landing, with the water's surface gently rippling around its hull. The plane's distinctive wings, with their curved leading edges and rounded tips, are fully extended, while the three-bladed propeller churns up the water behind it. The aircraft's cockpit is visible towards the front, with the navigator and pilot seated side by side, intently focusing on their instruments and the task at hand. Point Cooke, located in Western Australia, was an important Royal Australian Navy base during World War II, and was the site of extensive seaplane operations. The Fairey IIID was a common sight at the base, and played a crucial role in protecting Australia's coastline from enemy submarines and aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and functionality of this iconic aircraft, as well as the skill and bravery of the pilots who operated them in challenging conditions. It offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation and military technology, and is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff's collection.
