British Transport Aircraft of the 1970s and '80s

The flashy jet fighters and heavy bombers get all the glory and attention, but without the humble transport aircraft modern airforces would soon ground to a halt. 

This volume presents classic British transports from the 1970s and 1980s including the Andover, Argosy and Comet. The last generation of aircraft from when Britain had it's own independent aircraft industry making it's own big jets and not just parts of other people's (although to be fair making big chunks of Airbuses is a huge industry).

The volume has a number of excellent colour and black and white photographs. The nostalgia factor is high. Luckily many of these workhorses have preserved examples at RAF Cosford, a selection can be seen below.
