I imagine the "enormous flying boats" were probably Sanders Roe "Princess" boats. I think three were built (£10m in their day) and they were never sold, their market having disappeared with the arrival of Comets and 707's etc. (and the decline of the Empire). See pictures here! https://youtu.be/AV1eUeo27tc
