From 1989 until 1999, the wilds of Northwestern British Columbia was the setting for the
world's last working Bristol Freighter operation. Bristol Freighter Engineer Paul Hawkins
had the good fortune of being able to extensively film Bristol Freighters C-FDFC and
C-FTPA on the job with Terrace based Trans-Provincial Airlines.
In this DVD, we get a first hand look at the rigours of working the
fifty year old Bristols between their Bronson Creek base camp and
Wrangell in harsh winter conditions that often defied man, muscle
and machine.
The Bristol crew worked out of make-shift quarters
with maintenance performed in the elements often in below zero
temperatures. Despite the conditions, spirits were always high
and at the end of day, the job was always done.
This is a must have DVD for all serious round engine propliner
fans. This DVD is jam-packed with exterior footage, cockpit
footage, lots of landing and take-off sequences, inflight engine
footage, run-ups, flypasts, freight loading and there is even some
nice crew house and maintenance footage to give the full picture
of life on the road with the world's last Bristol Freighters.

People who bought this DVD also bought these DVDs ....
I really enjoyed this DVD because I had time on the type with the New Zealand Airforce
and because I worked as a aerial top-dressing pilot off some hairy and usually one-way
airstrips. I give this DVD a 10 out of 10. Pita Kenan, Hamilton, New Zealand
"Thank you for the prompt delivery and safe arrival of my DVDs
(Bristol Freighter Part II and HS748 in Canada).
I have only watched one so far but it is excellent. Your range covers aircraft which I have not been able to
purchase on DVD before. I remember some Bristols here in 1977 when I was 10 years old, but to see them again is great.
I look forward to making another purchase." Mark Burchell, Adelaide, Australia
