Saro Lerwick L7250 runs up on the slipway at Calshot shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. Visible is the well-glazed cockpit which gave the pilots a good view of the whirring propellers in a position to neatly decapitate them if a blade came loose, a not-unknown event in any aircraft of the time. The portly hull had aerodynamic (and hydrodynamic) problems and the purposeful appearance of the Lerwick gave little hint of its rapid demise.
