The vast expanse of ocean shimmers beneath the mighty hull of the Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess, its powerful engines roaring to life as it skims across the water’s surface. You can almost taste the salt in the air, feel the thundering vibration of the six turboprops, and watch as the elegant flying boat rises steadily against a backdrop of endless sky. This moment — full of ambition, engineering brilliance, and unbounded optimism — is perfectly preserved in this vintage aviation art print of the legendary G-ALUN.

The Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess, the largest all-metal flying boat ever built, was a technological marvel of post-war British aviation. Registered as G-ALUN, it symbolised a grand vision for luxury air travel across oceans. Although only three Princess airframes were ever completed, and none entered full service, their design remains a testament to extraordinary ambition and craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 10 1/8 x 8 inches, this good condition vintage print offers a stunning and faithful tribute to one of Britain’s most daring aviation achievements. Collectors, researchers, and aviation enthusiasts alike will appreciate the rarity and grandeur captured in this historical scene.

Owning and preserving vintage prints like this safeguards the bold dreams and historic feats of our aviation pioneers. These images are not merely decorative; they are living testaments to human ingenuity, courage, and vision. By collecting important aviation heritage pieces, we honour the innovators who dared to push the boundaries of what was possible, ensuring that their stories inspire generations to come.
