EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Saunders-Roe SR45 Princess, registration number G-ALUN, undergoes a trial launch on 19 August 1952 at the Columbine Slipway in Cowes, Isle of Wight. The SR45 Princess, a remarkable aircraft designed and manufactured by Saunders-Roe, is seen gracefully emerging from the water, with a plume of spray trailing behind it as it gains momentum. The Saunders-Roe SR45 was a versatile amphibian aircraft, capable of both water and land take-offs and landings. It was designed primarily for the transport role, with a capacity to carry up to 24 passengers or 4,000 pounds of cargo. The SR45 was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk.3 engines, which provided a top speed of 185 miles per hour and a range of over 1,000 miles. The trial launch was an essential stage in the development of the SR45 Princess, allowing the engineers to test the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics in a controlled environment. The Columbine Slipway in Cowes was an ideal location for such tests, as it offered a sheltered and shallow water area for the amphibian to take off and land. The photograph captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as the SR45 Princess begins its journey from the water, with the crew and onlookers watching intently from the shore. The successful trial launch marked an important milestone in the development of this innovative aircraft, which would go on to serve various roles, including passenger transport, cargo transport, and even military applications.
