What the heck is that? Bristol Barbazon?
And y'know what the worst thing is about this price increase? They're not giving you the undercoating for free anymore. But they'll throw in some free "little tree" air fresheners to hang in the cockpit, so you can keep that "new plane smell" longer.

The Bristol Brabazon, it failed because BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation)regarded air travel as an ordeal and demanded that each passenger be provided with 200 cu. feet for comfort, and 270 cu. ft. for luxury.Thats a New York loft.
Unreal Aircraft.com states:-
" An agreement with the airline eventually led to an interior layout housing a forward saloon with six compartments, each for six passengers, and another one for just three; a midships section at higher level above the wing with 38 seats arranged around tables in groups of four, plus a pantry and galley; and a rear saloon with 23 seats in an aft-facing cinema, plus cocktail bar and lounge.
The Brabazon was be one of the first airliners to be pressurised and air conditioned. It was also be a very big, heavy aircraft - weighing nearly 300,000 lb - for only 100 passengers."
All right, what's the story? Is that plane flying or is it by far the world's largest plane, sitting in a cornfield?
