Its unfortunate they didn't save any of them. Would have come in handy with all these wildfires...

Back in 1983 I found a newspaper under the floor boards in my first house, where in the classifieds, these three beauties were offered for sale. I wanted to keep it, the saw to it other wise. A great posting, being old fashioned, I would like to see Flying boats made compulsary, ie you fly to a land mass coast, then travel by other means.

Because of the shape of the hull, the Princess was nicknamed the Double Bubble by workers when I worked at Saunders Roe. So was one popular film reader!

And I was the shorthand typist in the Flight Test Section when the Princess was launched, working for Bill Worner and his team of engineers. We were all very proud of this beautiful aircraft. Many people could not understand why she was not bought and put into service. What a waste!

Bravo, Bomberguy! Thank you for bringing the newsreels back to the average Joe with a PC and a fast connection! Keep 'em coming!

Wonder what did happen to them? What a waste! Just like the Spruce Goose.....I agree....retrofit them and bring them back....

I love flying boats! Think of all the land that could be saved if they were used! Bring 'em back! Bring 'em back, I say!

Impressive, but pointless...and kind of ugly. And is it just me or does the cockpit window and double-bubble body look too much like the Stratocruiser?

Why not use the beauties to help in fighting fire fires in Southern California???
