The Bristol Britannia, “Britain’s Challenge to U.S. Jet Liners,” was featured on our May 28, 1956 cover. “Bristol Aeroplane Co. is attempting to invade the U.S. domestic airline market with its 100-seat passenger turboprop Britannia,” the magazine reported. In addition to trying to beat Lockheed’s new Electra turboprop to market., Bristol was developing a long-range version of the Britannia. “This aims at making it a significant high-speed competitor to U.S. turbojets on the North Atlantic.” UK airline British Overseas Airways Corp. (BOAC) inaugurated the Britannia’s London-New York service at the end of 1957, but the aircraft could not match jet-powered transports such as the Boeing 707. Even with sales to the RAF, just 85 Britannias were built. The Britannia design, however, found a second life as the basis of Canadair’s CL-28 maritime patrol aircraft, 33 of which were delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force as the CP-107 Argus.
