Brabazon interior
The Brabazon commitee discovered that a passenger needs 6 to 8 cubic m cabin volme per head for comfort.
At first, they planned a plane with fuselage 760 cm across. Then they found they did not need to carry so many passengers, and built the Brabazon with fuselage width of 510 cm.
Boeing 767 is 503 cm wide, so similar to Brabazon.
The 55 m length of Brabazon is close to the length of 767-300. It is just that 767-300 misses the 70 m wingspan of Brabazon.
The cabin volume of 767-300 is said to be about 480 cubic metres. So suited for 60 to 80 passengers. 767-200 has about 420 cubic metres cabin volume, suitable for 50 to 70 passengers.
Silverjet has too many passengers (102) on 767-200. However, Privatair does have a 767-300ER fitted for 50 passengers.
The Privatair 767-300 has 12 seats in front - 4 rows at 3 abreast - and 38 seats in the rear, at 4 abreast. Plus a bar table with 6 seats.
Google has a 50 seat 767-200. Which includes seats for many retainers and employees, as well as bedrooms of both founders.
What was the interior of a Bristol Brabazon like?

is illegible, but the upper right image shows 3-seat blocks. So, it seems that Brabazon was a single-aisle 6 abreast plane?
