EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Short Sandringham 5, registration number G-AHZA, proudly standing on the tarmac at Penzance, Cornwall in the late 1950s. The Short Sandringham, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was a popular choice for the British civil aviation industry during the post-war era. This particular aircraft, operated by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), was a key player in the transportation of passengers and cargo between various destinations in the UK and its colonies. The Short Sandringham was a twin-engine, short-range airliner, designed and manufactured by Short Brothers in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was known for its distinctive appearance, featuring a high-mounted wing design and a large tailfin. The aircraft could accommodate up to 34 passengers and had a cruising speed of around 185 miles per hour. The photograph captures the essence of aviation history, with the Sandringham's sleek lines and powerful engines creating a sense of excitement and wonder. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, with the simple, utilitarian airport surroundings offering a stark contrast to the modern, technologically advanced airports of today. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during the post-war era, and serves as a reminder of the important role that aircraft like the Short Sandringham played in connecting people and places across the globe. The image is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast or history buff, and is a beautiful addition to any home or office decor.
