Bristol Brabazon

The Bristol Type 167 Brabazon was a large propeller-driven airliner. The
project was launched in 1943, flown in 1949 and the single prototype was
scrapped in 1953. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Brabazon

Quite a lot was written in the very early stages of the project and there was
another peak around launch time. Interest waned fairly quickly with the
scrapping but didn't die entirely
