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 The last Empire flying boat in service, she was withdrawn on 23 December 1947 and scrapped soon thereafter.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
