Westland

"In the same year Saro's helicopter and hovercraft interests were taken over by Westland" - did Saro have anything else ? Did Westland acquire the whole company, or just the businesses ? -- Beardo 23:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi - have just read this and I know its awhile back but Saro also manufactured buses, small marine craft, emergency lighting, stress gauges, composite material - fittings for train carriages, fuel tankers, electronics (early compueters, rockets - hope this helps. regards --Slmvbs (talk) 07:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)slmvbs

Saunders-Roe also built bus bodies in the 1940s and 1950s (and possibly over a longer period). The company supplied a significant number of bodies for London Transport's RT class double decker.

Wondering if anyone knows anything on Saro-Gill, or Saro/Gill designed marine propulsion units around ? Recorded in Stout Sturdy and Strong, The Alvis Stalwart Story by John Rue This is 1961 Presumably, this is the same Saro marine boat builders. Darzet boy (talk) 03:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
