EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Saunders-Roe A17 Cutty Sark, registration number S1575, is seen taking off from the water. This aircraft, manufactured by the Saunders-Roe company, was a versatile seaplane that gained significant attention from the Seaplane Training Flight and the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment (MAEE) for its potential use as a military trainer. The Saunders-Roe A17 Cutty Sark was a single-engine, two-seat biplane designed for both flying boat and landplane configurations. Its innovative design allowed it to operate effectively in various environments, making it an attractive option for military training purposes. The aircraft's robust construction and impressive performance characteristics were highly regarded by aviation experts during the post-World War II era. The image showcases the A17 Cutty Sark in its flying boat configuration, with its wings and floats fully extended. The plane's sleek lines and streamlined design are evident, as it gracefully lifts off the water's surface. The engine's exhaust trail creates a distinctive contrail, adding an extra element of dynamism to the scene. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation, particularly in the context of military training and the development of innovative seaplanes. The Saunders-Roe A17 Cutty Sark, S1575, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of aircraft design and serves as a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the aeronautical industry during this period.
