The Bristol 170 Freighter is a British transport aircraft developed in the late 1940s by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. Designed for cargo and passenger transport, it features a high-wing configuration and a distinctive nose that can be raised for easy loading and unloading. The aircraft can carry up to 4 tons of cargo and is powered by two Bristol Hercules radial engines. First flown in 1945, the Freighter was used by various airlines and military operators around the world. Its versatility allowed it to serve in different roles, including freight transport and aerial survey missions. The aircraft was eventually retired in the 1970s, but it remains a notable example of post-war aviation design.
