Kind words Pelican, thank you very much.
The Princess drawing has been finished over Christmas and now I’m about to start to prepare the paintings surface. I shall post my progress with it sometime in the new year.

Cheers to you all 🙂

Princess / Jet boat

Hi people!
I have been working away on my Princess flying Boat project recently. And for all those people who gave me encouragment and requested an update of the project here is the latest photo of the work.
The first work shows the SRA/1 jet boat-this amazing machine caught my imagination during the research for the project and due to the amazing response I got from people on this forum the work has expanded in to 2 paintings. The second painting ( to follow) will be of the Princess flying boat itself on a take off run but is still at the drawing stage.
Cheers

Paul

Fantastic!
What would I do without the Internet! You guys are great, thanks for all the info this is all interesting stuff and it’s all building up towards a good basis for a painting. Thanks “STORMBIRD 262” that old thread has some great pictures on it. I’m going to head back down to the Solent to do some more research and try to speak to a few guys who worked on her. Cheers “7 Cyllinder man” – The Saunders-Roe Apprentice web site will prove to be a great resource although the photo archive still doesn’t seam to be working yet. Anyway I’m off to spend the weekend at my drawing board!.
Thanks again Gentlemen.

Thanks gentlemen,
some interesting links there and some photo’s I haven’t seen before. I’ve got several ideas for the composition and will post some of the drawings when I have got a little more research together to fill in the gaps. Incidentally does anyone know if any bits of of them still survive anywhere, or did the scrap man torch everything?.
