Mt Hermon looms in the background on a clear day. From 1931 Imperial Airways flying boats alighted on the Sea of Galilee at Tiberias, initially connecting with a landplane at the nearby Samak airfield. With the introduction of the S.23 the flying boats flew all the way between Southampton and Singapore. This aircraft, Challenger, also carried out the first through service to Sydney in July 1937. It crashed off Lumbo in Mozambique on 1 May 1939. Photo from: Library of Congress
