Mike Merlotti sent me this link from a vintage advertisement site, and asked "One wonders, might it have had bowling lanes and a swimming pool to pass the time during flight?"  www.plan59.com/av/av134.htm |

He He, I love it, looks like the Queen Mary with wings, a proper flying boat. Imagine the conversation in the cockpit: "We are finally in the air Captain." "Well bring her down again because we have reached our destination now." |

Suspect with only 4 engines it might be seriously underpowered, but having been brought up underneath late finals for Short Sandringhams, Hythes, and Solents, and having watched the wonderful Saunders-Roe Princess in flight - I WANT ONE!!

We can only see part of the thing. Who's to say there aren't four more engines hanging out there?! And do the paint scheme and "wing" emblem remind anyone else of the Union Pacific?
