		Lerwick pilots from the OTUand arranged to fly as many aircraft as were available to Lough Erne.Larry took one and instructors Edwards, Grant and Ogle-Skan and three others."
		This was on Sept. 6, 1942 with Lerwick L7267.
		The aircraft tilted about 45 degrees to port and with Edwards assisting by leaning over from behind me and holding the stick with me, we crept over the water with the left wing down and as flying speed gradually increased we were able to get on an even keel again.

		The Lerwick's wing span was 85 ft. It had a maximum speed of 216 miles per hour for attacks on targets, and cruised at 165 miles per hour.
		The Lerwick was found to be aero and hydro- dynamically unstable, too heavy, suffered from engine unserviceability and unable to maintain height on one engine.
		By the time the Lerwick's faults had become apparent, the Sunderland order had lapsed and Short Brothers had dismantled the jigs; despite frantic efforts, renewed production of this four-engined machine, the Sunderland, was for months desperately slow.

		The Saunders-Roe London was the most successful design of the Saunders-Roe company.
		Although due for replacement by the oubreak of World War II, they saw some active service pending the introduction of the Lerwick.
		In 1938 five Londons were equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks for a cruise to Australia to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the State of New South Wales.

		Remember to check your references here as most Lerwick props were fitted with spinners, which are provided in the kit, but the subject of the decal sheet, certainly at one point in its career, was photographed without them.
		All service Lerwicks were finished in the then standard scheme of Dark Green and Dark Earth upper surfaces with Sky underneath, although establishing the correct overall pattern may prove difficult.
		Contrail have done a good job in capturing the lines of the Lerwick; it scales out well against the plans and, apart from the minor problems with the cowlings, props and lack of absolute reference material, it makes up into a fine replica.

	BLACKBURN B20
		His radical idea was to have the entire bottom of the flying boat hull able to be extended downwards for landing, and be retracted for flight, giving a slim streamlined fuselage and the promise of unprecedented speed for a flying boat.
		Three companies tendered designs for R1/36, along with the Blackburn proposal Saro and Supermarine both put forward projects (the Supermarine type 314 tendered was one of the last design projects RJ Mitchell had a hand in).
		The Air Ministry chose the Saro S36 Lerwick to meet Specification R1/36 (the Lerwick proved an expensive failure, seeing only limited service and only 21 were produced), but was sufficiently impressed with the Blackburn design to authorise the building of two prototypes.

		The name was adopted in 1929 after Alliot Verdon Roe (see Avro) and John Lord took a controlling interest in the boat- and aircraft-builders S.E. Saunders.
		Saunders Roe, commonly abbreviated Saro, concentrated on producing flying-boats, but none were produced in very large quantities - the longest run being 31 Londons.
		In the same year Saro was taken over by Westland who continued the Skeeter family with the Scout and Wasp.

	British Aircraft of World War II - SARO LERWICK
		- The Saro S.36 Lerwick was a twin-engined GR flying-boat to meet Specification R. 1/36, powered by two 1,375 hp Bristol Hercules IM (first four aircraft), II or F/.
		First of 21 production aircraft flown early November 1938, with first three assigned to prototype development and used to test a number of tail configurations and other modifications to overcome early shortcomings.
		Deliveries to No 209 Sqn began December 1939 but SARO Lerwicks unsatisfactory and little used.

		Developed to work alongside the very successful Shorts Sunderland flying boat, the smaller twin-engine Saro Lerwick also entered service with the RAF in 1938.
		Unfortunately the initial service trials revealed various deficiencies with the design; the Lerwick proved to have serious stability problems both in the air and on the water.
		Although no Lerwick aircraft were officially on strength with the RCAF, in fact, two RCAF squadrons, Nos.

		Other aircraft, such as the Blackburn Botha and Saro Lerwick, had not proved successful and did not assume significant roles within the command.
		The failure of the Saro Lerwick flying-boat, intended to complement the Sunderland in large numbers owing to a supposed high rate of production which was not realised, was a serious blow to the command as an accelerated build-up of Catalina deliveries from the USA was und impossible to negotiate at short notice.
		But new equipment and weapons were being introduced during the latter half of 1940: air-dropped depth charges had large replaced the old antisubmarine bombs, while night-flying Hudsons ere being fitted with early versions of the air-to surface vessel radar (ASV).

		The Lerwick was an advanced design with a good performance, but handling characteristics could have been better.
		The availability of the better Catalina made the Lerwick superfluous.
		Just 21 were built, and their service life was short.

	Saunders-Roe/SARO
		After the war the company concentrated on seaplane designs,but times were hard and after a series of reorganisations,in 1929 A V Roe took over the company which became known as Saunders-Roe Ltd,or SARO.
		During WW2 the main activity was the building of Supermarine Walrus and Sea Otter aircraft as well as repair and overhaul activities.
		Following WW2 SARO built the Princess flying boats.Unfortunately,the day of the flying boat was just about over and the three Princesses (only one ever flew) became almost the last fixed wing aircraft produced by SARO.

		Para poner en práctica esta reconquista de sus colonias alrededor del mundo el gobierno Británico seleccionó a dos empresas con experiencia para que trabajaran juntas de nuevo, la Saunders de Goring-on-Thames experta en la construcción de lanchas rápidas y la empresa AV Roe muy conocida por sus aeronaves utilizados en la Royal Air Force.
		Anteriormente estas dos empresas habían colaborado para producir hidroaviones como el Saro Lerwick y un interesante hidroavión jet llamado SRA-1.
		El Princess cuyo número era SR.45 era prácticamente un trasatlántico con alas construido con todo el lujo y confort necesario para cargar nada más y nada menos que 220 pasajeros, cifra sólo superada un cuarto de siglo después por el Boeing 747.

		I really miss the historical photographs that were in the books published by Guideline and I hope that the Aviation Workshop will consider using reference photographs in future books.

		El Blackburn B-20 se comportó bien en vuelo y su casco retráctil tambien, pero la desgracia sobrevino al fallar uno de los alerones y el aparato terminó estrellándose estrepitosamente contra el mar, salvándose sólo uno de sus tripulantes.
		El Ministerio del Aire Británico no tuvo la visión suficiente para continuar con el desarrollo de este novedoso diseño, declarando como ganador del concurso al Saro Lerwick, un hidroavión convencional conocido por sus tripulantes como "el cerdito volador" que a fin de cuentas resultó poco estable y muy poco fiable.
