Wow, that is sure a nice plane mind. How did you manage to get the chrome texture?

I think the only traces left of the Brab are a single main wheel in a museum and the "Brab hanger" at Filton. Just came along too late. The Brab had eight Bristol Centaurus radial piston engines driving contra props.
Superb shots pal.

I knew either Roger or Doug would have some "extra" bits of info on the bird...... ;)

What a shame that there isn't one somewhere, but then we do seem to almost totally deny the existence of many great planes which we once had.......  :(   :'(

Nice shots Lemoncat. I was fortunate enough to see the Brabazon in the air when it flew along the coast. I was only young but it was very impressive.

I could be wrong but believe only one example was ever built. It was one of the many prototypes that never quite made it in those exciting days. It wasn't a complete waste of time. Many of the ideas & construction techniques tried out on the Brabazon were used on the Bristol Britannia & Concorde.
