Stratocruiser & Bristol Britannia interior cabin pictures
 

Has any one got authentic period photos of pax cabin interiors of these airplanes? BOAC would be ideal. Not museum exhibit shots.

There are quite a few Pan Am strat shots on the net to be seen but not of the Britannia nor boac strat interiors.

Photos of Pax fit of RAF Britannia 253 CMk 1's below.

Gosh Warmtoast, that's wonderful. Looking at those pictures I can smell it again: a unique combination of seat plastic and toilet fluid. Happy days.

they have a wonderful collection of artifacts and pictures and may be able to help you with your quest.

From 1961 really?
 

Nice pics. Seats wouldn't look out of place in more recent times.

I flew on both the BOAC b377 and Britannia as a kid which is why I'd love to the the interiors again ... in clour - now that would be asking!

thanks.

...and to think the seat pitch for the standard pax load was 38-ins. For high density seating it was reduced to 36-ins.

Compare that to pax seated in today's civil economy - what do you get nowadays? - 32-ins, if you're lucky.

I've posted this one here before.
