This is one of my favourite airplanes! I cycled out to Shannon or even Rineanna especially to see them way back in the 1950's!

Is Shannon Airport not in Co. Clare?

Sharon Corbet The NLI has a proud history of treating all counties on the western seabord (in fact, more or less anywhere outside the Pale) pretty much interchangeably.

derangedlemur Sharon Corbet As a Limerick native who has heard my fellow citizens claim Shannon on more than one occasion only to be shot down in flames by irate Clare men and women I was waiting for that! Shannon is of course in Co. Clare. The plane is a Super Constellation and I always considered it the most beautiful and elegant of the airliners!

OK So VH-ABB "Coolangatta" was a Short type 23 Empire flying boat, and it arrived in Sydney for the first time on its delivery flight April 2 1938. So the 1936 date attributed to this photo would appear to be wrong. www.aussieairliners.org/shortfb/vh-abb/vhabb.html
