VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the Bristol Type 170 Freighter, an aircraft celebrated for its versatility and global reach. The ad emphasizes the plane's widespread use across Commonwealth air forces, airlines, and charter companies in a multitude of countries. With a map highlighting nations from Canada to New Zealand, it underscores the non-stop nature of operations facilitated by this robust freighter. The slogan "on which the sun never sets" cleverly alludes to both the vast operational network of these planes and Britain's historical empire where the sun famously never set. This piece is not only an ad but also a snapshot of post-war aviation history when British engineering was at its zenith in connecting far-flung corners of the world.
