Roden 326 Bristol 175 Britannia African Safari 1:144

Overall 86 machines of this type were built, the main operator of most of which was B.O.A.C. Another major operator was African Safari Airways, created in 1967. Primarily it carried out charter air transport from the main European airports, such as London, Munich, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, Paris and Vienna. The capitals of major African countries such as Egypt and Kenya were the airports of destination. From the very beginning the Bristol Britannia and the Douglas DC-8 were the airline's principal aircraft. However, operation of the Britannia continued for only a limited length of time, until 1972, when the airline's fleet was finally converted to jet planes exclusively.

The last planes of this type could still be found flying in the early 1990s, that is, almost half a century after their construction. The Britannia, which had failed to become the leader of world transcontinental air transportation, in a twist of fate repeated the destiny of Great Britain as a country which in the post-war years lost its position at the head of the field of passenger aircraft, finally conceding sole leadership to the United States of America.
