She was a superbly engineered aircraft built on the orders of a government committee instead of being built to the requirements of commercial airlines.
Churchill approached the man he thought the obvious choice to lead a committee to decide on this aviation strategy, a man who had met the Wright brothers and had worked for Charles Rolls of Rolls-Royce fame, the first British person to fly back in 1908, and that man was John Moore-Brabazon, 1st Baron Brabazon of Tara.

The cockpit of the Bristol 167 Brabazon. It was the first aircraft to be fitted with fully high pressure hydraulics, and the first to have electric engine controls. The Bristol Beaufort (manufacturer designation Type 152) was a British twin-engined torpedo bomber designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, and developed from experience gained designing and building the earlier Blenheim light bomber. The technology extended to every detail down to the rivets, which were sealed in place with aircraft dope to reduce the required number.One of the obvious things that would have to be built was a bigger shed that this “jumbo” of an aircraft could be fully assembled in. The prototype was broken up in October 1953 after only 400 hours flying, in part due to an inadequate projected fatigue life. Those advances, however and that gorgeous fuselage, weren't enough to save it from the scrap heap.You left out this beauty that was developed during the war for transport and post war civilian use. This huge aircraft was initially designed around the carriage of 96 day passengers, or 52 in sleeping compartments and included bars, walkways and even a cinema.Nowadays it is difficult to appreciate the sheer size of the Bristol Brabazon - a tailplane span of 75 ft perhaps speaks volumes, as much as the 230 ft wingspan (19 ft greater than a Boeing 747-400). The pilot for the testing was Arthur “Bill” Pegg, who had spent some time in Fort Worth, Texas at the invitation of American aircraft maker Convair flying their large B-36 Peacemaker strategic bomber.
And with visions of a shrinking world, engineers decided to see how small they could make it.But they had a problem.
(53.6 liters) 18 cylinder radial Bristol Centaurus engines which each produced 2,650hp. Back then travel by ship was the norm, travel by air was a new thing that had to establish itself as a better and more comfortable way of traveling.The Bristol Brabazon was laid out to provide spacious comfort. The undercarriage track was 55 ft (the undercarriage development requiring the assistance of its own Avro Lincoln test aircraft!). Had it been offered with a seating capacity of 300 it might have managed to sell, but it was aimed at providing luxurious travel for wealthy people.Interestingly Britain would repeat this mistake again when it created another aircraft aimed at wealthy travelers, and that aircraft was the supersonic Concord.There is an excellent documentary about the Bristol Brabazon which we include here courtesy Jon Branch is the founder and senior editor of Revivaler and has written a significant number of articles for various publications including official Buying Guides for eBay, classic car articles for Hagerty, magazine articles for both the Australian Shooters Journal and the Australian Shooter, and he’s a long time contributor to Silodrome.Jon has done radio, television, magazine and newspaper interviews on various issues, and has traveled extensively, having lived in Britain, Australia, China and Hong Kong.
Turboprop engines were and are very fuel efficient so there were also improvements to the aircraft’s operating costs. By 1953 the costs had escalated even further to £6 million and with another £2 million needed to complete the MkII prototype, the Ministry of Supply announced the cancellation of the project.
