EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Bristol Type 166 Buckmaster T1, registration RP179, is seen taxying at Filton Airfield in 1949. The Buckmaster was a twin-engine transport aircraft designed and manufactured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the United Kingdom. It was a versatile aircraft, capable of performing various roles including passenger transport, freight carrying, and even as a maritime patrol aircraft. The image captures the Buckmaster in its element, with its distinctive twin tailfin and large propellers creating a sense of power and agility. The aircraft's livery, adorned with the Bristol Aeroplane Company logo, adds to its distinctive appearance. The background of the photograph shows other aircraft and hangars, providing a glimpse into the bustling activity of Filton Airfield during that era. The Buckmaster was a significant aircraft in the post-war aviation industry, with over 400 units produced between 1946 and 1953. It saw service with various military and civilian operators around the world, including the Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and several European airlines. The Buckmaster's versatility and reliability made it a popular choice for both military and civilian applications. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of aviation during the late 1940s. The Buckmaster's enduring legacy can still be seen today, with many examples still in operation as museum pieces or in private hands. This image is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during that time, and a reminder of the important role that aircraft played in shaping the world we live in today.
