Bristol 175 Britannia Monarch Airliner 1/144 Roden

The Bristol Britannia was a medium/long range British Airliner.  It was the star of the 1952 SBAC Farnbough Air Show, where due to its low noise it became known as the “Whispering Giant”, a name that remained with it during its service.  The Britannia mainly served European holiday destinations, carrying hundreds of thousands of holiday makers until 1976 when Monarch became an all-jet service and retired its fleet of Britannia’s. Britannia’s were still operating in Africa in the 1990s.  Although only 86 Britannia’s were built in an eight-year period, the Britannia is remembered as one of Britain’s great airliners. The Britannia also served with the Royal Air Force as well as many airlines worldwide.
