Cambria left from Foynes on a transatlantic proving flight on 29 July 1937. It looked like Foynes would become an important transatlantic terminal, but WWII killed the flying boat. The Foynes seaplane station closed in 1946, replaced by Shannon airport, not far away. Photo from: National Museum of Denmark
