| Notes:

request by the British Overseas Airways
Corporation, which needed a long range
airliner for the transatlantic route and
to South Africa.
Powered by 4
Proteus 755 turbo props producing over
16,000 wps/ehp giving the Britannia her
raw power and long range capabilities.
Only one
Britannia remains, currently being
restored in GB. |
