SARO CLOUD (1931) From an old album given to Jerzy Orwovski comes this novelty which baffled the experts - a tri-motor Saro Cloud. The reason for surprise is that very few people seem to recall the existence of a three-engined Cloud amphibian. Initially filled with three 220-h.p. Wright Whirlwind radials "for extra safety" (at the special request of the purchaser, the Hon. A. E. Guinness), G-ABHG was tested by Sq./Ldr. L. S. Ash, M.B.E., R.A.F.O. Later the Cloud was converted back to the conventional two-motor installation totalling 680 h.p. Span 64 ft.; length 51 ft.; weights: empty 6.250 lb., loaded 9,500 lb.; speeds: maximum 118 m.p.h., cruise 95 m.p.h.; service ceiling 12,000 ft. F.a.f. price ?9,000. Seventeen Clouds went to the R.A.F. in the mid-1930s as "flying classrooms".
