Opening of Kallang airport. The governor of Singapore hopped over from Seletar to Kallang in Artemis, which is flanked by RAF Vildebeest torpedo-bombers and a flight of blue and yellow Netherlands East Indies army Martin 139 bombers. The tail of KNILM DC-2 PK-AFK is also seen. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

The Short S.23 was rather short on range and it seems that a stop on the Saône river in Mâcon was sometimes necessary on the leg between Portsmouth and Marseille. The Hôtel d'Europe et d'Angleterre in Mâcon says the flying boats moored at their doorsteps and this seems to be correct - the Pont Saint-Laurent bridge is just visible under the wing and the pointy house seen above the cockpit still stands.

Cassiopeia crashed at Sabang on 29 December 1941, hitting debris on take-off while carrying a load of ammunition from India to Singapore following the outbreak of the Pacific War. The flying boat is seen with a type of embarkation raft first used in April 1937, designed to prevent damage to the hull. From 1938, passengers boarded straight from the shore at Berth 108 in the port of Southampton, rather than from the Hythe facility.

Dropping you off right next to the Ras el-Tin Palace in Alexandria. Imperial Airways journeys were not particularly fast, but certainly scenic. As a member of the British upper class you were not supposed to be in a hurry, anyway. Dating uncertain. Photo by: Ernst Ackermann / SLUB / Deutsche Fotothek

The passengers were having breakfast on the Imperial Airways station boat. Coriolanus was brand new, having commenced her maiden trip to Alexandria as flight IE 559 on 20 June and going back to Southampton as IW 557 on 22 June. She carried out evacuation missions from Java to Broome, Australia in February 1942 and was transferred to Qantas as VH-ABG later in 1942. The last Empire flying boat in service, she was withdrawn on 23 December 1947 and scrapped soon thereafter. Photo by: Sophie Petersen / National Museum of Denmark

Pictured over Chesapeake Bay, most likely by the 104th Observation Squadron of the Maryland National Guard on 17 November 1937 according to the photo source. The service from Bermuda - not from Britain - to New York was redirected to Baltimore Municipal Airport between this date and 6 April 1938 to avoid the icy winter conditions in New York. The next winter the service continued to New York, until Cavalier ditched and sank in the ocean on 21 January 1939. Photo from: Enoch Pratt Free Library

The S.23 flying boats lacked the range to cross the big pond with payload but a limited route was opened between the British territory of Bermuda and New York or Baltimore. Cavalier was actually shipped to Bermuda. Suffering icing, the aircraft ditched en route from NY - Port Washington to Bermuda on 21 January 1939 and three of the 13 people on board lost their lives.
