'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

This is an FSX screenie from 2007, using the Visual Flight photoscenery with the JBK Brabazon over Ron Salt's airship sheds at Cardington - relics of another glorious failure.

Great find Mike.
What a beast of thing, but oddly graceful in flight.

1950!
I remember it well!
I passed my Motorcycle Test, and got my; Motorcycle Licence, at the age of 16!
When Men wore Trilby Hats, and the Ladies wore Dresses and Skirts!
...and the World was; "Normal"!
Happy times!....

Great indeed!
A cabin the you could fly a kite in!
Not 4 but 8 motors!
An industry that could support half a dozen or more major aircraft companies, and just write off a 6 million pound doodle to experience.
Thanks Mike sent me off down the rabbit hole, that one...
