Do you think that with the changes in climate which appear to be increasing wildfires on an exponential rate, that some of our aircraft companies should nove back into Flying Boat manufacture and build some giant water bombers.
Imagine the water capacity if the Princess was still around

I dont know why Coulson didnt keep the Mars flying, it was in good shape with all the back up, spares and staff that were required.
We photographed the cocooned Princess when we were on holiday on the i.o.w in the sixties. Would have been nice if even the cockpit could have been saved.
