Nicely done Dave... :clap:

The Princess had ten Bristol Proteus turboprop engines the four inner contra-rotating props powered by a coupled proteus and the two outer props powered by a single engine. Read about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saunders-Roe_Princess

Thanks Dave...that is an interesting read...much appreciated... <<q

I have no idea why they never made these aircraft like the Sunderland into Amphibians...very narrow thinking on the part of the designers and company.
