EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic first Short S.22 Scion Senior, registration VT-AGU, as it gracefully takes to the skies. The Short S.22 Scion Senior was a British twin-engine transport aircraft, designed and manufactured by Short Brothers at their Belfast plant during the late 1930s. This particular aircraft, VT-AGU, was the very first example of the type to be built and was completed in 1938. The Short S.22 Scion Senior was a significant development in the field of transport aviation, featuring advanced design features such as a cantilever wing and retractable landing gear. With a capacity to carry up to 18 passengers or a payload of 3,500 pounds, this versatile aircraft was well-suited for various roles, including passenger transport, cargo carrying, and even air ambulance duties. In this image, we see VT-AGU in its prime, soaring above the clouds with an air of elegance and power. The crisp, clear lines of the aircraft's design are accentuated against the backdrop of the sky, while the contrasting shadows cast by the wings add depth and texture to the photograph. The engine exhaust trails streaking behind the aircraft add a sense of motion and dynamism, capturing the essence of flight. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during the golden age of flight. The Short S.22 Scion Senior, VT-AGU, stands as a symbol of progress and achievement, inspiring awe and wonder in all who behold it.
