Saunders Roe Experimental Jet Aircraft Art Prints by Ivan Berryman. Aviation Print Pack. Items in this pack : Item #1 - Click to view individual item DHM1715B. Saro Sr.53 by Ivan Berryman. A Ministry of Supply contract issued in the mid 1950s resulted in the unique Saro SR.53 supersonic interceptor fighter, which incorporated a mixed powerplant consisting of an Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbojet mounted above a liquid-propellant de Havilland Spectre rocket motor. First flown in 1957, the aircraft displayed good characteristics, but was ultimately not put into production. Signed by Eric Winkle Brown (deceased). Small limited edition of 30 prints. Image size 12 inches x 8 inches (31cm x 20cm) Item #2 - Click to view individual item DHM1714B. Saro SR.A1 Over the Needles by Ivan Berryman. In 1947, the first of three SR.A1 experimental flying boat fighters took to the air from the Saunders Roe factory at Cowes. Powered by two Metropolitan-Vickers F2 / 4 Beryl turbojet engines, this unique and innovative machine displayed excellent performance, providing the pilot with an ejection seat and fully pressurised cockpit. Sadly, service chiefs concluded that land-based fighters were the way forward and no further examples of the SR.A1 were built. Signed by Eric Winkle Brown (deceased).
