Cassiopeia crashed at Sabang on 29 December 1941, hitting debris on take-off while carrying a load of ammunition from India to Singapore following the outbreak of the Pacific War. The flying boat is seen with a type of embarkation raft first used in April 1937, designed to prevent damage to the hull. From 1938, passengers boarded straight from the shore at Berth 108 in the port of Southampton, rather than from the Hythe facility.

'Air France announce that the Latécoère 631 will go into service on the route to the West Indies for which three have been ordered. On July 25th an initial flight started from Bordeaux... 631-04 was flown over last week from Biscarrosse to the BOAC base at Hythe, and was made available for flying experience and examination.' The visit reassured the Brits about the future of the Saro Princess but of course, the days of the flying boat were numbered. The six-engined Laté 631 had first flown in 1942 with German consent. Ten examples were built. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
