G-EAUD Saunders Kittiwake
(c/n 101)
This rather uncontrasty print does not show
the configuration of the one-off Kittiwake to its full
advantage. Actually, it looked
rather like a tug boat with wings. To better see what I mean, I
have enlarged the cockpit
area (below). I have virtually no details on this 1920 desgined
aircraft,
other than it was scrapped in
1921. In 1929, after Aliot Verdon Roe and John Lord took a
control-
ling interest in the firm,
the name was changed to Saunders-Roe, which in turn was later truncated
to
Saro.
