During WWII, when victory is assured, the government decided to build an airline for transatlantic purposes. They appointed Bristol for the task. in 1949, Bristol rolled out the Type 167 Brabazon 1, it was huge, and was to capture the oceanliner market of all things. It flew with flying colours and woo the media and spectators, however, few airliners showed interests in this B R I T C H O N K P L E N. And opting for Stratocruisers and whatnot. Finally scrapped in 1953. Controls are (5+vtol down flaps extend/retract)(8+vtol down gear extend/retract). I was suppose to do a SUPREME livery but opted for BOAC as it is easier, might do SUPREME in the future.
