    Commonly called a 'Bristol FRIGHTENER' by anybody from any Armed Services, that had the displeasure of being a very unwilling passenger.

    Every panel, rivet and nut would be shaking so badly, that you could not even talk to the fella seated alongside you.

    I went skydiving one time and a rivet popped out of the roof and landed on the floor the ancient Cessna when they started it.

    There are many sayings and stories about this aircraft. But it did stirling service in both an airline and the military service in New Zealand. Some interesting engineering, especially the sliding sleeve valve engines.
