Textures for Jens B. Kristensens Bristol Britannia 300 model (BRT_V10.ZIP). These textures depict Britannia 317 c/n 13426, built at Filton and registered G-APNB Nov. 1958. She was delivered 30.04.1959 to British and Commonwealth Shipping Ltd .and in May 1960 transferred to the parent company Hunting Clan Air Transport Ltd. This aircraft and sister ship G-APNA made several UK - Far East trooping charter flights. Fitted with 114 rearward-facing seats, the interior layout was described as "unusually luxurious" for a troop carrier! Six flights each month were made between London, Singapore and Hong Kong with fuel stops at Istanbul, Karachi and Bombay. Further trooping contracts followed to Cyprus, Kenya and Aden also other charter services were flown (See video clip on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p9feJUh_iE). Photos with an without colored engine cowlings exist. Cheetline and titles were repeatedly altered too. 1959-60 G-APNB was leased to East African Airways Corp., EAAC. In July 1960 both Britannias came to British United Airways, BUA by merger. G-APNB were sold to Donaldson Intl. 1967 and leased out to Lloyd Intl. 1967 and 1969. She retired 1971 and was broken up at Luton.
