bristol britannia

The Bristol Britannia, known as "The Whispering Giant," was a British medium-to-long-range turboprop airliner developed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1952. Aimed at serving the vast routes of the British Empire, only 85 units were built due to the advent of jet airliners. The Britannia was renowned for its quiet operation and passenger comfort, despite the challenges faced during its development, including engine issues related to inlet icing. Its successful entry into service began with British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) flights in 1957, and it ultimately contributed significantly to the evolution of civil aviation with variants introduced by Canadair in Canada. As a model kit, the Bristol Britannia 1/96 from Eastern Express captures the essence of this historic aircraft, appealing to aviation enthusiasts and model builders alike.
