Washington for a loan to keep the economy afloat. Without it,
mass starvation might have been reality in the awful winters
of 1946 and 1947. While food shortages were to be expected
during the war, rationing continued until 1954. Against these
conditions Bristol had to contend with scarcities of housing,
money, manpower and materials to get aircraft production up
and running.
Can Bristol Pull This Off?
In 1946, the British magazine Flight, questioned the wisdom
of the Brabazon project in its 14 March issue. "Is the project too
great an advance in size and achievement to be attempted at
the present time? Will development take so long that the design
will be out of date before the production aircraft can be put into
regular service?"
The hope was that the prototype would fly in 1948. Eventually
named Brabazon Mk I, it would be sized for about 100 comfy
passengers, and with eight of the best available radial engines,
it should cruise at about 250 mph. Production aircraft, coming
after the second prototype, and dubbed Brabazon Mk II, would

possibly be in regular service before 1950 or 1951. These would
have turboprop engines and cruise at about 330 mph.

their Atlantic services, and placed orders for American Convair
Constellations and Boeing Stratocruisers.
