HC Deb 19 December 1934 vol 296 c1133
22. Rear-Admiral Sir MURRAY SUETER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he can give the chief characteristics of the larger flying boat now being constructed at Toulouse and compare this machine's dimensions, etc., with the largest flying boat being constructed in this country for civil aviation?

Sir P. SASSOON

I understand that the flying boat referred to will be about 103 feet in length and 161 feet in wing span, and have an all-up weight of some 69,000 lb. There is no flying boat of similar size at present under construction in this country.
