Model 170
The Bristol 170 Freighter
was designed near the end of WW2 to
meet RAF requirements, including the ability to transport a standard
3 ton truck. In the event the end of the war meant the requirement
was no longer needed and the RAF never ordered the aircraft.
A pure passenger version
known as the Wayfarer was available as
well as freight versions and convertible versions. However the type
never achieved significant sales and only 214 had been built when
production ended in 1958.
They were used by several
air forces including Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, Pakistan etc. A large fleet was used for many years by
Safe Air of New Zealand to carry cargo between the two main islands.
The aircraft was affectionately
referred to as "40,000 rivets flying in
loose formation".
