Short S23 C Class Empire Flying Boats Part 2

Short S23 C Class Empire Flying Boats Part 2 Tube. Duration : 2.93 Mins.

Design and development The origins of the Empire boats lay in an Air Ministry requirement for passenger and mail carriers that could service the colonies particularly to make the connection to Australia. The Empire was officially known as the C-class and each aircraft was christened with a name beginning with C. The first aircraft, G-ADHL Canopus, was completed in June 1936 and launched on 3 July. A total of 42 Empires were built, all at Short's Rochester factory. Imperial Airways (and its successor BOAC), Qantas and TEAL operated the Short Empire. The first series of the Short Empires, the S23, could carry 5 crew, 17 passengers, and 4480 lb (2035 kg) of cargo at a maximum speed of 174 knots (320 km/h). The range of the S.23 was less than that of the US Sikorsky "Clipper" flying boats and as such they could not provide a trans-Atlantic service. Two boats (Caledonia and Cambria) were lightened and given long range tanks so they could make the trip but that meant they could carry fewer passengers and less cargo. In an attempt to manage the Altantic crossing a piggy-back approach was tried. Using a built up S.23 design as the main carrier and a smaller four-engined floatplane design, the Short S.20, mounted on its back. Only a single example was built of a carrier aircraft, the S.21 (Maia) and one S.20 (Mercury) together known as the Short Mayo Composite A successful mid-air launch of Mercury was made in 1938. The S30 series were fitted with Bristol Perseus sleeve valve ...

Dear Diary ~ 2

Dear Diary ~ 2 Video Clips. Duration : 0.17 Mins.

Dear Diary . Season 1 RYE I opened my eyes to the sound of talking. Great. I looked at the time 9:52 am. I sat up on my bed and looking in the mirror in front of me. My hair was tangled. Perfect, just perfect. I got up and tripped over my long red plaid pajama pants. I went to the small washroom across the hall in the house. The house was really small and my dad doesn't even have cable his house is that small. But what can you expect it's a barn in the middle of no where. I entered the freakishly small yellow bathroom and got my comb and started brushing like locks. After that I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Orange juice , milk and water. I took the orange juice and started drinking it from the carton. I turned around and spit it out in the sink. I looked at the date. December 14 2009. I looked at the calendar and it was September 1 2010. I threw that out. I took the milk and looked at the date. January 2 2010. Ok this was good I thought to myself. I drank out of the white carton. I walked through the living room out the old-fashion door barefoot. "Good morning." My dad said. "Hi ," I crossed my arms and stopped beside him. "This is Ryan Moore." My dad said. "Yeah, hi." I 'fake' smiled. He was probably that loser that sucks up to the parents just to get the girl. "This is Rylee." My dad said. He seemed kind of nervous and awkward. "I told you not to call me that." I said looking at him. "Sorry, Rye." He corrected. "Ryan lives down the block and he just came ...

How to be a Tanner / Leerlooier #02

How to be a Tanner / Leerlooier #02 Video Clips. Duration : 4.38 Mins.

TVGreen's Time Machine presents "The Tanner" from the series "Claim to Fame" The small country of the Netherlands has a big name in leather. Rotterdam is the leather port of the world. Hides from all over are traded there, even before the cargo has been loaded onto the docks. The Schueler's have tanned in this vat for a very long time, and before that it was also used; for churning butter. Peter Schueler says about his leather: "Good leather is what my grandfather made. It used to outlast five horses. Today, one horse gets five sets of tackle." When he learned the trade from his father, the leather was still being tanned with vegetable matter. Now, his tannery is converted to modern methods. "Tradition is important to us, but you can't make a living with it," he says sensibly. Cowhide isn't used anymore, only calfskin, which is made as thin as possible.The skins destined for clothing may not stretch at all, but must be supple. Sheep or goatskin is used for this. Sheepskin isn't so strong, but it's perfect for clothing, since it's light and supple. Everybody knows nappa and suede. The needle foot feverishly speeds along the seams to have the newest colours and designs ready for the dealer. The circle is finally closed. webcasted by: www.TVGreen.nl © - broadcast footage www.stockshot.nl - Music title Long Time Coming by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) licensed under Creative Commons "Attribution 3.0"
