Imperial Airways - Genoa to Alexandria - 1931

File Description:
In 1931 Imperial Airways operated a revised timetable for their flying boat service between Genoa and Alexandria. The route was changed and instead of taking four days the journey-time was cut in half. After departing Genoa in the morning of the first day, the aircraft made stops at Naples and Corfu before arriving in Athens for an overnight stay. The next morning the machine (now a Short S.17 Kent or “Scipio” class) departed Athens after breakfast and only made one stop en-route Alexandra, and that was at Crete. Passengers arrived in Alexandria in the afternoon of the second day, a huge cut in time compared to the 1929 timetable. This flight represents the inaugural service of 16th. May 1931 and uses Jens Kristensen's Short S.17 "Scipio" flying boat.
