EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short Sandringham 2, registration number G-AGPZ, prior to its delivery to the Argentine Air Force in the late 1940s. The Short Sandringham 2, a versatile amphibian aircraft, was designed and manufactured by Short Brothers in the United Kingdom. This particular aircraft was one of several that were exported to Argentina for various uses, including transport and aerial surveying. The image captures the pristine condition of the aircraft before its departure from the UK. The Sandringham 2 is seen parked on a grassy runway, its wings gleaming in the sunlight and its engines meticulously maintained. The Argentine flag is proudly displayed on the fuselage, signifying the country's ownership and anticipation of its new addition to the aviation fleet. The Short Sandringham 2 was a significant acquisition for the Argentine Air Force, as it offered the unique capability of being able to take off and land on both water and land surfaces. This feature made it an essential asset for the country's remote areas and coastal regions, where traditional runways were not always available. The delivery of G-AGPZ to Argentina marked the beginning of a long and successful partnership between the Argentine Air Force and Short Brothers. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Short Sandringham 2 and the important role it played in the history of Argentine aviation.
