EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases two Short L17 Scylla aircraft, G-ACJJ and G-ACJK, of the renowned Imperial Airways fleet. The Short Brothers L17 Scylla was a versatile and innovative amphibian aircraft, capable of both taking off and landing on water and land. This unique feature made it an ideal choice for Imperial Airways' routes that included both water and land sections. G-ACJJ, registered to Imperial Airways in 1932, is seen here with its distinctive red, white, and blue livery, adorned with the Imperial Airways crest. The aircraft's wings are folded, revealing the intricate details of its engine and landing gear. The water behind the plane reflects the clear blue sky, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. G-ACJK, also registered to Imperial Airways, is positioned next to its sister ship, with its wings extended and ready for takeoff. The contrast between the two positions highlights the versatility and adaptability of the Short L17 Scylla. The aircraft's sleek design and streamlined shape are evident, making it a modern and advanced aircraft for its time. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of aviation and the remarkable aircraft that graced the skies during the interwar period. The Short L17 Scylla, with its innovative design and versatility, played a significant role in expanding the reach of air travel and connecting the world in new and exciting ways.
