EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Bristol 138A aircraft, specifically registration number K4879, adorned with a three-blade propeller and standard Pegasus IV engine. The image offers a glimpse into the rich aviation history, as the Bristol 138A was a versatile transport plane that played a significant role in both military and civilian applications during the mid-20th century. The three-blade propeller, a modification from the original two-blade design, was implemented to enhance the aircraft's performance and efficiency. The Pegasus IV engine, a powerful and reliable powerplant, was a standard fitment for the Bristol 138A, providing the necessary thrust for the plane to take off and fly with ease. The Bristol 138A, also known as the Freighter, was a popular choice for various roles, including troop and cargo transport, maritime patrol, and even as a flying boat. Its versatility and robust design made it a valuable asset to both military and civilian aviation operations. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bristol 138A and the advancements in aviation technology that have shaped the way we travel through the skies. The three-blade propeller and standard Pegasus IV engine combination not only improved the performance of the aircraft but also contributed to its iconic status in the history of aviation.
