As a kid my old man and I stood at Farnborough and watched the Princess thunder down the runway centreline and bank really steeply beyond the Black Sheds [from our position]. Geoff Tyson had his hands full for a few moments I gather.......

Glorious sound and machine. What a team Saunders Roe had including Geoff Tyson and Dick

Stratton [wonderful man] and the whole SR workforce. My old man built Wellingtons, Warwicks

and the Windsor at Weybridge/Wisley but never told me anything until just before he died.
