The Short Solent was a passenger flying boat produced by Short Brothers in the late 1940s. It was developed from the Short Seaford itself a development of the Short Sunderland military flying boat design which was too late to serve in World War II. The first Solent flew in 1946. New Solents were used by BOAC and TEAL production ending in 1949. Second-hand aircraft were operated until 1958 by a number of small airlines such as Aquila Airways.
