EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short S8/8 Rangoon, registration number G-AEIM (formerly S1433), as it gracefully taxis along the tranquil waters of the Solent at Hamble Aerodrome. Once a passenger transport aircraft, this Short Sister Shorthorn amphibian underwent a significant transformation into a crew trainer for Imperial Airways. The Short S8/8 Rangoon, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was renowned for its ability to take off and land both on water and land. Its distinctive hull design and powerful engines made it a popular choice for both civilian and military applications. In this image, we see the aircraft in its new role, with the addition of training equipment and markings, ready to impart valuable knowledge to the next generation of aviators. The Solent, a famous stretch of water between the Isle of Wight and the mainland of England, provides the perfect backdrop for this scene. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky above, creating a serene and picturesque setting. Hamble Aerodrome, with its rich aviation history, serves as the ideal location for this conversion and training process. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Short S8/8 Rangoon and the important role it played in the development of aviation, particularly in the training of crew members for Imperial Airways.
