For alittle history on that big hanger in east cowes for those who are abit curiouse
Remember Saunders Roe? yep, they were bassed in Cowes
First ever Jet Powered Flying Boat Designed..
Ah the good old days on the huge seaplanes. Shame the concept went obsolete in the 1950's
They were the last fixed-wing commercial aircraft produced by Saunders-Roe. The company built one more fixed-wing design, the Saunders-Roe SR.53 mixed powered (rocket and turbojet) fighter design; aside from that, the company concentrated on helicopters and hovercraft after this point.
Also dont forget the Hovercrafts
Seems that hanger has seen a huge history, i think know its the British Water Sports HQ? cant remember
