EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the Bristol 170 Freighter Mk. 31, registration VH-ADL, of the Australian-based Air Express Company, sits proudly on the tarmac at Archerfield Airport near Brisbane, Queensland, in 1968. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as this iconic aircraft, with its distinctive hump and propellers, was a mainstay of the transport industry during the mid-20th century. The Bristol 170 Freighter, also known as the "Cargomaster," was a versatile and popular aircraft used for a range of applications, including passenger, cargo, and even medical evacuation services. This specific Mk. 31 model, operated by Air Express Co., would have been a familiar sight at Archerfield Airport, transporting essential goods and supplies throughout the region. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with the aircraft's weathered exterior and the surrounding tarmac dotted with other vintage aircraft, reflecting the era's unique charm and character. The image also highlights the importance of air transport in connecting communities and facilitating commerce, long before the advent of modern jets and high-speed connections. As we admire this snapshot of aviation history, we are reminded of the enduring allure of flight and the role that pioneering aircraft like the Bristol 170 Freighter played in shaping the world we live in today. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of those who dared to take to the skies and push the boundaries of what was possible.
