Shorts S30 Empire Flying Boat G-AFCZ named Clare owned and operated by BOAC. Seen here at Poole in Dorset following its trans-atlantic flight on 10th August 1940". This photograph captures a moment frozen in time during the turbulent era of World War II. The majestic Shorts S30 Empire Flying Boat, affectionately named Clare, takes center stage as it gracefully floats on the tranquil waters of Poole in Dorset. This iconic aircraft was proudly owned and operated by BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation), symbolizing the resilience and determination of civil aviation amidst war and conflict. The image exudes an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to the 1940s when this flying boat played a crucial role in transport and travel during wartime. Its presence at RNAS Sandbanks signifies its significance as a vital part of the home front effort. The dedicated crew members who manned this magnificent vessel can almost be imagined, their unwavering commitment to duty etched into every line of their faces. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded not only of the technological advancements made during that time but also the bravery exhibited by those who risked their lives for freedom. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even amid chaos, beauty can still be found – whether it's through the elegant design of an aircraft or in moments captured forever like ripples on water.
