[QUOTE="Apophenia, post: 301703, member: 728"] Saben, Hart & Partners are tough to track but they did a minor connection with the Saunders Roe Princess. Indeed Saben, Hart seems to have had a minor finger in lots of bigger pies -- aviation, nuclear power, architecture, etc. BTW, a Raymond Hart is mentioned as a director of Saben, Hart & Partners in a 17 Nov 1957 article in the [i]Sydney Morning Herald[/i]. [url=https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/123531388/]https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/123531388/[/url] And then there's this snippet: "... to join a firm of consulting engineers, Saben Hart and Partners in 1951 as a Senior Draughtsman. The company had a contract with Saunders Roe and my first job found me working on their SR 53 fighter and Princess flying boat, both were later cancelled. I was then transferred to work on the new Aden aircraft gun. I had enjoyed the work and was disappointed when the company closed in 1954, due to lack of orders, leaving me unemployed."

FWIW, a few divisions listed in The London Gazette, 30 Sept 1960: Saben, Hart & Partners (Bournemouth) Limited Saben, Hant & Partners (Bristol) Limited Saben, Hart & Partners (Coventry) Limited Saben, Hart & Partners (Glasgow) Limited Saben, Hart & Partners (Portsmouth) Limited [/QUOTE]
