Stratocruiser & Bristol Britannia interior cabin pictures

[b377]

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.

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.

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.
