| 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.

| Imperial Airways - Cairo to Cape Town - South Africa Service, 1932 |
|
File Description:
Our journey commences in May 1932 at Embaba airport (Cairo) and the Flight Simulator flight-plan shows the route all the way to Cape Town. You will, of course, pause for refuelling and overnight stops during this 7-day epic from the top of Africa to the very southern tip of the continent. Imperial Airways operated the Handley Page HP42 between Cairo and Nairobi and the Armstrong Whitworth AW15 "Atalanta" for the second half of the journey. The flight has been saved with the Flight Simulator 2004 default Cessna 172 to enable a trouble-free commencement.

| Imperial Airways - Croydon to Cologne - 1934 |
|
File Description:
This Flight recreates the daily service operated over the 340 miles between London (Croydon airport), Brussels (Belgium) and Cologne, in Germany. The aircraft used is the Short Scylla, a four-engined machine and the land version of the Short Scipio flying boat and modelled by Jens Kristensen - s17l_v2.zip at Avsim. (As there is no Croydon airport in the default FSim 2004 you will need to download a file named vla.zip, by John McKeon. There is a minor update, vlatxfx.zip, which you should also download.) Please read the Word DOC file I've included with this package as it contains important information regarding the flight.

| Trans Oceanic Airways mooring location on the Clarence River, Grafton |
|

File Description:
This AFCAD2 file will give you the exact and correct location for the site on the Clarence River, Grafton, where the Trans Oceanic Airways (and later, Barrier Reef Airways and then Ansett Air Services) flying boats would sit and load/unload their passengers. For years I had thought that the location was on the southern bank of the river and it was only in early October 2007 that I learned differently, purely by chance. The Readme contains further information plus the very simple installation process. (Re-upload)

| Ansett Flying Boat Services - Rose Bay to Lord Howe Island - 1969 |
|
File Description:
A Flight created for Flight Simulator 2004 and which utilises the Short Sandringham created by Jens Kristensen, this time in the 1970's livery of Ansett Flying Boat Services. A special set of textures has been created specifically for the Ansett version and is included with this package, together with instructions on its simple installation.
Ansett Flying Boat Services ran scheduled flights between Rose Bay and Lord Howe Island, a very popular tourist destination, particularly with honeymooners.
These flights usually departed Rose Bay on a Sunday, with the trip taking about two-and-a-half hours.
This allowed for new holiday-makers to arrive at their destination with a complete week ahead of them and, at the same time, for returning passengers to arrive back in Sydney on Sunday evening, ready for work the next day! Installation instructions are included.
