If they'd just kept pushing Sea-planes as more an alternative to cruise ships and luxury travel it might well have worked. Like Push Sea-Planes not as a simple mode of transport but as a part of the experience. Like they did with Airships at first.

Flying boats are an oddly nostalgic thing for me. It probably stems from seeing fantastical versions of them in so many shows and games in my childhood. I can't help thinking that right now would be a great time to begin developing a new generation of these aircraft. They might never be as efficient or cheap as a standard plane, but they offer such whimsy that it definitely seems worth it to me.

I would imagine modern technology could make them more efficient and if we had more planes able to land on water, it would alleviate crowded land-based airports which pose a significant environmental cost (rainwater runoff, loss of vegetation, over-development, etc.). Landing on water would free up some infrastructure investments as really only a port would have to be built rather than a large field covered over in concrete.

I remember sometime in the early '60s I took a trip to the Isle of White with my parents and the Princesses were still sitting on the Saunders-Roe slipway . It was before the 747 had ever flown and it's size was an impressive site for a young feller. I think we may have been on a pleasure boat trip because I even remember the guide on the boat saying something about "white elephants' as we passed the yard - which I thought was funny having never heard the idiom before.

They also cost a fortune to fly on them. The Boeing 707 and DC-8 all had standard seats with 34 inches of pitch. Today economy is 28-30 inches while business class is 36 inches. For seat width todays first class is just 22 inches while economy is 17 inches while back in the 60's economy had 21 inches! The sacrifice for flying to be affordable for middle and lower income is todays economy class. Back then even the cheap seats were business class pricing. 1952 was also an interesting year since not only was it this flying boat and the Comet both having their first flights but the SS United States became the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic. It really showed the change from the industrial age to the modern age.

Bloke on the Range just has a recent video featuring a discussion between him and Karl about running their respective channels and how the current owners of KZread are stifling discussion of things they in some cases should be encouraging.

I have big memories of the Princess. In my final years at school just outside Southampton. I discovered that the council was opening an Adventure Centre on the old seaplane base at Calshot. I asked the school if they could organise for us to attend there each week for sailing lessons (the dream of my life). The answer came back, yes and yes. So each week about 20 of us travelled to Calshot. There were two Princesses, mothballed on the slipway, looking very forelorn. She had to get the dinghy masts under their wings. There was no chance of flying but they still sit in the worn glow. I am 71 and still sail, so it was a good public investment.

Have write this - aged 17 I was in the Royal Observer Corp. able to get into the Farnborough Air Show free I saw both the Princess and the Brabazon flying. Later years holidaying near Cowes, IOW, I saw the Princesses mothballed in the hangers. At 87 I am still fascinated by aircraft and their history. Only managed to get on a Concord in a museum and it wasn't a passenger one, but an early test bed one filled with instuments. .

Im convinced that a flying boat would be amazing. Like going on a cruise with more range and the luxury accommodations.

Pretty naive of you to assume that in any given airplane regardless of size that the airline companies wouldn't still be cramming in as many seats as possible.

Saunders-Roe were an amazing company that, towards the end, had little luck with actually selling stuff. Not only did they produce the last and arguably greatest flying boats but they built the first hovercraft (as shown). They also built Black Knight/Black arrow which was Great Britain's entry into the space race. The Prospero satellite launched by Black Arrow is still in orbit and still apparently broadcasting its radio ping. The Princess car and passenger hovercraft that crossed the English Channel were built in the same hanger as the Princess Flying Boat! Most recently the successors to SARO in East Cowes now part of the GKN group make winglets and have about a third of the world market. Most Boeing and Airbus types have been made there. Also some of the major design for the A380 was undertaken at the East Cowes site so they still do big! The hanger that made both types of Princess now makes aluminium high speed water craft. This venture - Wight Shipyard - is quickly making a name as one of the best in the world in this field. Recent boats include the newest Thames Clipper, and two ferry/party boats for Cancun in Mexico. Currently they are building four craft for Malta.

And most of the time put them into action, but the 21 century just think anything that doesn’t look average is to far fetched and impossible. It makes me sad. I, personally, would love to see a massive cruise liner in the sky.

Ironically, it was the De Havilland Comet that pronounced the death sentence for British passenger jet aviation. And flying boats had made a quite disproportionate contribution to the war effort, with the Catalina and the Sunderland each filling unique roles...

It's an interesting point to think that had the War been fought through a different infrastructure and all those new runways hadn't been built, flying boats might still be the main mass transport system over seas.

Short form. Early airliners didn't have the RANGE for non-stop long trips, and airports with long paved runways were UNCOMMON early on. When land-based airliners range got to the point they COULD cross the Atlantic and later the Pacific, and as airports with long high-grade runways got more common, seaplanes and their less-efficient shapes got UNNEEDED.

I could not believe my eyes there was these three huge Princess Flying boats sitting on cradles outside the hangers. They were truly massive. Two were mothballed, and we were supposed to be getting a tour round the third but due to some problem it never happened. They were truly massive aircraft.

This is where Titanic meets lighter than air, I think they once hoped the Hindenburg would/could meet the luxury requirements but as far as hydrogen was concerned there was a 'steep and fiery down side' onto the rock like sandy shores of New Jersey. My wife's people say, "vakapuna", a "boat" that, "jumps" into the air: nothing is more romantic to me than this connection to the south Pacific. Were I not here. Faka 'ofa pe 'au!
