EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the sleek lines and elegant design of the Imperial Airways Short S.17 Kent, registration number G-ABFA, affectionately known as Scipio. The Short S.17 was a versatile aircraft, developed by the British manufacturing company Short Brothers in the late 1930s. The Kent model, an updated version of the original S.17, was introduced in 1936 and featured several improvements, including a more powerful engine and an enclosed cockpit. The plane in this image, with its distinctive curved wings and streamlined fuselage, was a popular choice for both civilian and military use during the interwar period. The Short S.17 was known for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it an ideal aircraft for transporting passengers and cargo to remote or hard-to-reach destinations. In this photograph, G-ABFA is seen taxing on the tarmac, its propellers turning lazily as it waits to take off on its next journey. The image captures the sense of anticipation and excitement that surrounded air travel in the 1930s, as well as the technical ingenuity and design innovation that defined the era. The Short S.17 Kent, with its distinctive silhouette and impressive capabilities, was a testament to the golden age of aviation and the spirit of adventure that drove it.
