Sandringham in Sydney
This photo of a Short Sandringham was taken at the former Rose Bay flying boat base in Sydney Harbour, prior to departure for Lord Howe Island on 7 June 1974. This was the world's last airline route still operating flying boats: they ceased operations in August that year when a new runway at Lord Howe Island came into service. Copied from Kodachrome slide taken exactly 40 years ago today: more in a set to follow soon. I'd suggest viewing on black.
Any flying boat enthusiasts might enjoy a video I found, of the same aircraft departing from Sydney Harbour. Be adventurous and put the sound up, to enjoy the sound of the four Pratt and Whitney engines.
