A 10-ENGINE Monster: The Saunders-Roe Princess [RARE RESTORED FOOTAGE] This restored and colorized video short features rare historical footage of the Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess, the largest all-metal flying boat ever constructed. Explore the history of this colossal 10-engine British airliner, a "flying hotel" designed for transatlantic luxury that was ultimately made obsolete before it ever carried a single passenger. General Information: Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess * Role: Heavy Transport Fl

In 1952, the Saunders-Roe Princess was the largest flying boat in the air. It made a brief appearance at the 1952 Farnborough Air Show and was, for a moment, a hope for British civil aviation. Only one was built and the two other in production were also scrapped.
