EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Saunders-Roe SR45 Princess, registration number G-ALUN, gracefully emerges from the tranquil waters of Cowes harbor during its early trials in the summer of 1952. The Saunders-Roe SR45 was a groundbreaking amphibian aircraft designed and manufactured by the Saunders-Roe aircraft company, located on the Isle of Wight. This particular model, the Princess, was a transport variant, capable of carrying up to 22 passengers and a crew of three. The SR45 was a remarkable aircraft for its time, featuring a unique hull design that allowed it to take off and land both on water and on land. Its innovative design was the result of extensive research and development by Saunders-Roe, and the successful completion of the trials marked a significant milestone in the history of amphibian aviation. In this image, the SR45 can be seen in its element, gliding effortlessly over the water with the picturesque town of Cowes and its surrounding countryside in the background. The crew, dressed in their flight suits and working diligently on the aircraft, add a sense of urgency and excitement to the scene. The SR45's distinctive shape and sleek lines are accentuated by the sunlight reflecting off the water, making for a truly captivating image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when aviation was still a relatively new and exciting frontier. The Saunders-Roe SR45 Princess, with its innovative design and impressive capabilities, was at the forefront of this exciting era, and this image serves as a testament to its groundbreaking achievements.
