I used to love seeing the flying boats when I was a little kid.

Lucky lucky people to fly to Lord Howe Island in these gorgeous ladies. I watched them all the time as a kid in my little boat.

My wife and I were amongst a large group from my company who flew to Hayman Island in it in mid 1968. Took all day to get there. Fabulous experience with a buffet lunch aboard.

I'm just old enough to remember being taken for walks by my grandparents to see the flying boats hauled out on the massive concrete ramp.

My Dad worked for QANTAS at the Rose Bay flying boat base in the early 1950s, before he was transferred to Mascot airport in Sydney.

Not sure why there aren't more comments on this wonderful footage! Beautiful aeroplane and a rare window into a golden bygone era of Australian aviation.

We flew out of Rosebay @ 2am, on the tide, 8 Sept 1961, flying at 7,000ft & 3hrs later landing in the lagoon at Lord Howe Island at dawn. Our honeymoon & first 'Overseas' trip! Magic. Going back 2021 but by QF Dehavilland Dash 8.

My girlfriend did that in the early 70s - she lived one street away from me & I drove her down there & saw her off

My father took us to Rose Bay in the early 1970's just so we could see one of these wonderful machines taking off.

I used to live at Rose Bay & sometimes the flying boats would fly over our place as they took off - quite spectacular especially late evening & you'd see sparks shooting out of the exhausts. My Dad also worked at the base after the war. Later on he worked with a man who worked as a security guard there on the weekends, so guess who got to actually sit in the cockpit & look out through the navigators bubble..this brings back so so many memories
