FLIGHT 25 JULY 1952 0 miles... over 500 take-offs nd landings ... in all —a twelve-month trouble-free tour of demonstration through the American continents From the time it left Trinidad in January, 1951, until the time it touched down in Montreal for its annual Certificate of Airworthiness in December of the same year, the sturdy Short Sealand, flying under some of the most adverse and extreme weather conditions — ranging from equatorial sun, through tropical storms, to temperatures below Zero — flew more than 50,000 miles and gave more than 300 demonstrations in its twelve-month tour. All who flew in it, including many important officials of the numerous countries through which it passed, were high in their praise of its performance. Proving consistently every claim made by its manufacturers, the aircraft flew into remote and formerly inaccessible places. It covered a multitude of duties ranging from freighting to fishing, and solved many of the problems facing various business concerns —just as other Sealands are successfully tackling unusual tasks in many other parts of the world to-day.
