EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short Type 184 Seaplane, registration number N1084, as it gracefully touches down on the tranquil surface of a body of water. The Short Type 184, also known as the Empire Flying Boat, was a British flying boat designed and built by Short Brothers in the 1930s. It was a versatile and advanced aircraft for its time, capable of carrying large passenger loads or serving as a transport or maritime patrol plane. The image reveals the plane's distinctive hull, which allowed it to take off and land on water, and its three large, propellers, which provided the necessary lift and thrust. The wings, with their curved leading edges, are also visible, adding to the plane's elegant and streamlined appearance. The cockpit, located at the front of the hull, houses the pilot and navigator, while the spacious cabin behind accommodates passengers. Despite its impressive size, the Short Type 184 was known for its agility and maneuverability, making it a favorite among pilots and passengers alike. This photograph captures a moment of serenity and accomplishment as the plane makes its watery descent, leaving a gentle ripple in its wake. The Short Type 184, N1084, remains an iconic symbol of aviation history and a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its designers and builders.
