The Saro Duchess

This is the forum for photo's, plans, drawings and all details of those flying boats that were discussed, proposed , planned and reached prototype stage, yet never - for whatever reason - went into series production.

The Saro Duchess

There aren't any posts in this new forum, so I thought I'd get it going with the most famous flying boat proposal - the Saunders-Roe Duchess:

Oh no, that's temping. Not another Saro A1/Comet 4 type build. :D
Built light, with 6 30mm fans it may be possible. Beautiful subject there. I love the British planes with wing integral turbines. Absolutely beautiful. Merge the two below and I'd almost be there.

The one-offs and proposals are favorites. I have the Dornier Gs and Loening XSL2 on the rc model forum here. Always love the unusual subjects.
