Meanwhile, in the skies above, the Douglas DC-4E soared with its sleek design and spacious flat bed interior. This aircraft revolutionized air travel, offering passengers unparalleled comfort and luxury on long-haul flights. Back on solid ground, nestled near Forgue by Huntly, stood the Glendronach distillery - a haven for whisky enthusiasts. Here, barrels were transported on flat beds to be filled with Scotland's finest spirits. The smoothness of each sip was owed in part to these sturdy vehicles. Not limited to land or air alone, even steam wagons like the Leyland Model H embraced the concept of a flat bed. These powerful machines hauled heavy loads across rugged terrains with ease and efficiency.
