The best made British aircraft of all time...
Military: If we’re talking best made, as in most likely to get you back home, then this bad boy must be up there. The Vickers Wellington. This aircraft was designed in the 1930s and was built using what was called a geodetic airframe. This made it very durable, and crucially, able to take a lot of damage while remining flying. At the end of World War 2, there were jet aircraft being used, but the Wellington was both built and used for the whole war, and that tells you a lot about its versatility. And the best civilian one was another Vickers aircraft, the VC10 It was designed to operate from short runways and fly long distance. It held the transatlantic speed record for 41 years, and served as both a civilian airliner, and in air forces as a cargo plane, air to air refuelling, passenger flights and aero medical evacuation. Both aircraft were really good examples of excellent British aircraft innovation. It's Not For Everyone Cold Steel on the Rocks We Are Cold Steel ...
