by Brayden McDevitt on April 16, 2020 · in Ships · 6 ≡

by Roland Sachsenhofer on April 16, 2020 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

If there should be a technical incarnation of the design elegance of the 50s, the Bristol Britannia would probably be a candidate for it. Her elegant lines are as inspiring today as they were then, and her nickname "Whispering [...]
