1. Title: "A Bristol B-170 Freighter Mk 21 of Channel Airways: A Piston-Powered Cargo Airliner with a Stevenson Screen in the Foreground (1960)" 2.. This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of post-war aviation history with the image of a Bristol B-170 Freighter Mk 21 of Channel Airways, standing proudly on the tarmac of an English airfield. The year is 1960, and the piston-powered cargo airliner, with its distinctive high-wing monoplane design, is a testament to the technological advancements of the 1940s that continued to shape the skies in the early years of the new decade. 3. The twin-engine freighter, with its white, sun-proof, louvered box, known as a Stevenson screen, in the foreground, adds an intriguing layer to the scene. This protective shield, designed to keep the cockpit cool during sunny conditions, was a common feature on many aircraft of the era. 4. Channel Airways, a British civil and military aviation company based at Southend Airport in Essex, England, operated a fleet of various types of aircraft, including the B-170 Freighter. The company's diverse operations encompassed both cargo transport and flight training, making it an essential contributor to the aviation industry in the United Kingdom. 5. The B-170 Freighter, also known as the Type 170, was a versatile and popular design produced by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. With its impressive cargo capacity and long range, it served both the civil and military sectors effectively. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring legacy of the piston-powered cargo airliner and the innovative technology that defined the era. 6. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any aviation history collection, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of cargo transport and the role of piston-powered aircraft in the post-war era.
