Once again the Journal covers a variety of subject areas in Industrial Archaeology. www.hias.org.uk We start with an article on the Saunders Roe aircraft company on the Isle of Wight. The Solent area was very much the cradle of early aircraft manufacture in the UK. The ex-Saunders Roe Columbine Hangar still dominates East Cowes and the manufacture of aircraft components continues on the island. Bob Wealthy writes about the SR45 Princess flying boat, conceivedfrom at the end of the Second World War as a successor to the Empire flying boats which had sustained communication around the British Empire in the 1930s. Jane Hurst tells the story of the surviving remains on a site near Alton which served as a hospital and college for over a century under several auspices.
