The world’s largest land-plane, the Bristol Brabazon 1., is pictured on the runway at Filton, Bristol, with her engines turning during a recent test. The 130-ton plane, outcome of a £12,000,000 project which included the construction of an eight-acre hangar and the building of a 2500-yard runway at Filton, is the forerunner of such aircraft planned for the North Atlantic passenger service to fly 100 passengers in supreme comfort to America.
