Britains white elephant the Bristol Brabazon, a remarkable achievement that was too expensive to operate to ever turn a profit. Collected in newsreels from the late 40's and early 50's

From the special Flying with Authur Godfrey sponsered by Eastern Airlines to build public confidence in commercial air travel. Authur flies the Connie on one engine!
Britains other white elephant the Princess Flying Boat, another remarkable achievement with no economic use. Collected in newsreels from the 40's and 50's
