EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Short S.23 C-Class flying boat VH-ABD, nicknamed "CORIO," soaring through the skies above Basrah, Iraq, in 1939. The image was taken by Charles E. Brown during his tenure with the Royal Air Force (RAF), showcasing the aircraft's impressive design and capabilities. The Short S.23 C-Class was a significant addition to the Qantas Empire Airways' fleet during the interwar period. This particular aircraft, registered as VH-ABD, was a vital component of Queensland and Northern Territories Aerial Services, a subsidiary of Qantas, which operated flights between Australia and the Middle East. The Short S.23 C-Class was a versatile amphibian aircraft, capable of taking off and landing both on water and land. Its sleek design and advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a large wingspan, made it an ideal choice for long-range, overwater flights. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of aviation during this era, showcasing the courage and innovation of the pilots and crews who braved the challenges of flying long distances over vast expanses of water and remote territories. The image also highlights the critical role that the RAF played in documenting and preserving the history of aviation during this time. Today, the Short S.23 C-Class is remembered as a symbol of the early days of commercial aviation and the pioneering spirit that drove the exploration and development of air travel. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the past, inspiring awe and admiration for the achievements of those who came before us.
