The Bristol Type 175 Britannia was a British medium-to-long-range airliner built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1952 to fly across the British Empire. During development and acceptance testing, the turboprop engines proved susceptible to inlet icing and two prototypes were lost while solutions were found.
By the time development was completed, "pure" jet airliners from France, United Kingdom and the United States were about to enter service, and consequently, only 85 Britannias were built before production ended in 1960. Nevertheless, the Britannia is considered one of the landmarks in turboprop-powered airliner design and was popular with passengers. It became known by the title of "The Whispering Giant" for its quiet exterior noise and smooth flying, albeit the passenger interior remained less tranquil

April 24. This photo sucks. It's only a teaser for the awesome shot I'm going to get when I have more time to compose and figure out exposure setting (and strobist settings to light the fire-spitter too). This is getting posted because it's all I have from that day, and it was pretty fun to try.
I have a hard time letting myself let things out the door I'm not happy with but what can you do... a photo a day has it's problems.
