SlSf BRITISH FLYING BOAT and now ... the waterdrome THE waters of the earth are free, ready surfaced, and capable of standing up to any \ load. Commonsense suggests that they be used whenever possible. They offer, indeed, such immediate service that the necessity for any elaboration has largely been overlooked. That is wrong. Passengers can, of course, be taken off in boisterous motor- boats — but that is no reason why they should. An aerodrome is constructed, not just discovered — waterdromes need a measure of construction too. It should be possible to load up direct from dry land and under cover. In the waterdrome we have designed, with its accompaniment of servicing facilities, all such requirements are met. Waterdromes may be either existing water surfaces—or be wholly artificial (perhaps, in connection with new reservoir schemes). SAUNDE US-ft 0-E SAUNDERS-ROE LTD.. 49, PARLIAMENT STREET, LONDON. S.W.!
