Capital Air Lines Bristol Britannia 301 - 1956

RARE! RARE! RARE! Only ONE Britannia was ever painted in Capital colours, and although 5 aircraft were originally ordered by the airline, NONE were actually taken up. In addition, this aircraft (Which was the prototype of the 300 series) would have a very short life; she crashed on 11/6/57, while landing in Bristol. Capital, of course, would end up merging with United in 1961, when the former fell into financial trouble.
