Scale Model of the Short Brothers Flying Boat the Golden Hind
About the Item
Scale model of the Short Brothers S.26 G-Class flying boat G-AFCI the Golden Hind.
The Short S.26 G-class was a large transport flying boat designed and produced by the British aircraft manufacturer Short Brothers. It was designed to achieve a non-stop transatlantic capability. On 17 June 1939, G-AFCI "Golden Hind", the first of the S.26s, was launched from Shorts' No.3 Shop, a total of three S.26 flying boats were constructed on behalf of Imperial Airways, but these were only briefly operated by the airline due to the outbreak of the Second World War. During 1940, all three S.26s were impressed into military service, being used by both the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). During the postwar years the “Golden Hind” was in service with BOAC, until retired in 1947. From 1947 until 1954, it lay moored in Rochester Harbour near its birthplace, where the flying boat had made its first flight.
