    I worked on and flew in the Bristol 170, there was nothing wrong with them, they did exactly what they were designed for. Carrying freight and passengers, slowly. We called them 50,000 rivets flying in close rattling formation. They had a window in the doors at the front and you could lie on the floor watching the ground go by.

    4:10 Bristol 170 was not "retired 12 years later", that's when production stopped... the last one was retired nearly 60 years later... in 2004. And that was due to economic reasons, not its safety record! Not many aircraft have a better safety record after that much time in service... and the type of flying it was exposed to!... At least he got the date right!

Now I live in a house, but I remember long time ago my father's uncle had a farm, a large piece of land.. when he died the land was sold, but I wish I had that land, I would build a floor and I would gladly have a plane there, just to admire it.. I wouldn't have a destroyed rusty plane, I would rather have a plane that can be polished and restored 100% on the outside, even if nothing of circuits or engine works. I still dont know where I would get the money, or what would I do with it besides admiring it, it sounds crazy but I just would do it.

    While living in Manila, the Philippines, in the 80s I noticed a 707 parked across from the casino on a vacant lot. I was told it was one of Elvis' planes that has been purchased after his death and set up by it's new owner as a restaurant.
    In 1995 in Bali, Indonesia, I saw an intact and abandoned 737 in the suburbs that seemed to have been build around, leaving it no way out unless dismantled.
    Don't know anything about this one so maybe someone reading this might be able to shed some light on either aircraft.

      In fact it was only ever designed to fly just above the waves on the cushion of air it creates under its short wings!

There's a few UA-cam videos featuring the creation of them.
