Mt Hermon looms in the background on a clear day. From 1931 Imperial Airways flying boats alighted on the Sea of Galilee at Tiberias, initially connecting with a landplane at the nearby Samak airfield. With the introduction of the S.23 the flying boats flew all the way between Southampton and Singapore. This aircraft, Challenger, also carried out the first through service to Sydney in July 1937. It crashed off Lumbo in Mozambique on 1 May 1939. Photo from: Library of Congress

The slightly crude Scylla was derived from the Kent flying boat. Syrinx was the second and final example of the type.

The Vellox airliner was developed from the Vickers Vellore, a cargo and mail aircraft which in its original form was single-engined. Comfortable accomodation for ten passengers was provided but Imperial Airways only used the sole Vellox as a nocturnal mailplane while testing Lorenz blind landing equipment. It crashed after a few months in service in August 1936. Four-blade propellers are fitted here.

The AW.15 prototype, or 'lead ship of the Atalanta class'. After it was damaged on 20 October 1932, Imperial Airways swapped the names of this aircraft and the third, G-ABTI Arethusa, so Atalanta could still be shown to the public. Wheel spats were done away with in service.

The AW.27 was a large airliner first flown in January 1938. Ensign was the name given to the prototype by Imperial Airways, making this the 'class name'. The type's service debut was embarassing - three Ensigns carrying the Christmas 1938 mail for Australia all broke down. The Armstrong Siddeley Tiger engines were eventually replaced by Wright Cyclones. The 14 Ensigns built did transport work in WWII, including during the British evacuation from France in 1940.

The Avro 652 was the precursor of the Anson. Only two examples were built. Imperial Airways used them mostly to fly express mail to their seaplane station in Brindisi, until the Empire flying boats entered service. They were then sold to Air Service Training Ltd and impressed in 1941, G-ACRN becoming DG656. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

'First regular airmail service to Australia'. Imperial Airways schedules were always complicated - the HP.45 flew to Karachi and an AW.15 Atalanta continued to Darwin. As there was too much demand for the inaugural flight, the public were fooled: Hengist actually carried mail for India while letters for Australia had been dispatched via the old route to Karachi which involved a train between Paris and Brindisi. Even when transported entirely by air, the mail still took almost two weeks from London to Sydney.
