A fabulous colour video of a BOAC Flying Boat has been discovered by Captain Brent (@Birdseed501).
The date of the video from Pathe News is between 1946 and 1949.
Departing Poole Harbour by BOAC Short S.25 Sunderland flying boat.
G-AGHZ was delivered to BOAC in 1943 and wore a camouflage scheme during the war. It was sold to Aquila Airways in January 1949 so this dates it to 1945-48. pic.twitter.com/U4Q1fxW0Mz

About AirlineRatings.com
Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.
Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
