	Saunders-Roe Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saunders-Roe Princess was a very large flying boat aircraft built in the United Kingdom by Saunders-Roe, based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight.
		At the time, the Saunders-Roe Princess was one of the largest aircraft in existence; unfortunately, by the 1950s, the concept of a passenger carrying flying boat was dead.
		The four inner propellers were double, contra-rotating propellers driven by a twin version of the Proteus, the Bristol Coupled Proteus; each engine drove one of the propellers.

	Saunders-Roe Princess
		Designed to carry 100 passengers and cruise at 395mph (635 kmh) the Saunders Roe Princess was described as the finest flying boat ever built and a rival to the greatest liners.
		Initial design work had begun in 1945 by the Isle of Wight company Saunders Roe, when it was decided that the UK to America route would be best served by flying boats.
		There was one last attempt at designing a marine aircraft to keep up with land planes and revive the flying boat as the carrier of choice.

		I agree that one should be patient and expect to wait for over a year for one or two of Bader's masterpieces- like my anticipated Saunders-Roe Princess- and that's no problem.
		My only problem is that he charges for them when the order is placed- and that's a long time to be out several hundred dollars.
		Bader should charge 1/2 on actual commencement of work, and 2/2 + s/h upon completion.

	Telegraph Opinion Concorde's demise is 40 years too late
		Twenty-five years before Concorde, the UK produced two bloatedly-luxurious projects, the Bristol Brabazon (140 tons, eight engines) and the Saunders-Roe Princess (150 tons, 10 engines), two flying ocean liners that were cancelled once economic reality had struck home.
		So with instincts finely tuned (and fingers thoroughly burnt) on the Brabazon and Princess projects, shortly afterwards, the British did their best to get out of Concorde.
		The origins of Concorde lay in the British desire to join the EEC (as it then was) in the early 1960s.

	Bristol Proteus
		The original Proteus Mk.600 delivered 3,780 hp (2,820 kW), and was going to be used on the early versions of the Britannia and the Saunders-Roe Princess flying-boat.
		Only three Princess' were built, and only one of them flew, and by the time the Britannia was ready for testing they had decided to use the later Mk.700 engines instead.
		The versions on the Princess were mounted in a large frame driving a single propeller through a gearbox, and were known as the Coupled Proteus.

	Saunders-Roe Princess Flying Boat
		The Princess did successfully take off and did complete one circuit, probably around the coast of the Isle of Wight, and then landed.
		I'm not sure if it ever took off again, but within a few short weeks, while I was yet at Calshot, one of the three Princesses that were built (I'm not sure if it was the one that flew) was hauled up on the slip at Calshot.
		"Italia" steamed up the solent en route to Southampton, the Princess was still sitting there at the end of Calshot Spit.

		Despite the failure to sell the Princess, Saunders-Roe felt sufficiently encouraged by it to design two other similar aircraft, neither of which were built.
		In July 1967, the last of the three Princess flying boats was scrapped in Southampton.
		The Princess was the last flying boat ever built in Britain.

		The Princess was a double-decker and was to have a bar and bunks — reminiscent of Airbus's promotion of the two-level A380 as offering enough space to let the sardines move around a little.
		The Princess, on the other hand, was a plane whose time had passed.
		The Princess was even later in taking to the air, not flying until 1952.

		The West Cowes terminal (shown right) was located at Medina Road on a site which for many years had been the storage area of a couple of Saunders Roe Princess Flying Boats.
		The Southampton terminal was at Crosshouse Road next to the Itchen Floating Bridge, now under the western end of the Itchen Bridge, a bit 'out of town' but there was a bus service into Southampton city centre.
		On 6th July 1966, British Rail Hovercraft Ltd. started their first hovercraft service between West Cowes and Southampton using an SR-N6 under the Seaspeed banner.

		For examples, I offer the “Dornier DO-X”, “Bristol Brabazon” and the “Saunders Roe Princess”.
		The Brabazon and the Princess were built not because of, but in spite of market conditions.
		All three aircraft were the wonders of their time; all three were built and heavily subsidized by their governments.

	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.
		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.
