Has anyone any suggestions how I access the archives of Saunders Roe? I have in mind the building of a motor yacht built around 1937, that I found details of in an old Uffa Fox book, but am having great difficulty tracking down current whereabouts of the boating archive.

All you need to do is……..clear the heading at the top of the page…….type in……”whatever”

 

And press “go”

Try this link for some good information:http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202658  Also try Saunders Rowe and find a couple of books on amazon.co.uk. The archives may have been destroyed in the war. Lastly a google search reveals some photos of a raised deck cruiser on the UK houseboats site.

thank you for the input. Re. the Wikipedia reference, it quotes an address in Whip Street, Ipswich; as I live in Ipswich, and the only thing I know of Whip Street is the car scrapyard I’ll have to have a alk down there.
