Bristol Britannia Aircraft

I stumbled across this photograph of a Bristol 175 Britannia turbo-prop airliner, registration G-ATLE.


In February 1968 I flew on this very aircraft on a sort of package holiday.

We took off from London, Gatwick - refuelled at Gander, Nova Scotia (where the snow was banked up to about 3 metres high!) then to Jacksonville & Miami, Florida before Jamaica then a couple of days in Caracas, Venezuela before refuelling stops in Barbados and the Azores en route to Gatwick.
