When we had an Aircraft Industry of our own
Came across these links today. Vickers and Bristol did build some good aircraft and like the VC10 have lasted a long time if not flying passengers. Just a trip down memory lane for some. There is still a market for turbo prop airliners. Just wonder why the likes of Bea systems and Marshalls (can't think of any other British Manufacturers left) don't try and make new short/medium range turbo prop airliners today???? we just seem to have given up!!!! Most of these types were still flying well into the 90's as freighters in some countries
