Perhaps James would be more suited to golf
Please just try a 1 minute research on-line before asking here about ANYTHING James; if your question cannot be found in a quick internet search (which it seems is almost always likely), then by all means 'post away'. This took me less than 10 seconds of googling and I think answere most of your questions...

I've just tried Wikipedia and it gave no direct page to the Brabazon. However, on page 1-20 of 244.. it gives a list of 'possibles' with regard to relevance. No1 is Baron Brabazon - 100%. I didn't try there because we're looking for an aircraft not a bloke. Second in the list with a relevance of 98.7% is Bristol Brabazon. Now, I don't know if this is refering to a night club in Bristol or if it's Bristol the aircraft company but I think it's a fair bet to go for the aircraft company ;-)

Dave,
Try

Quite a bit of info considering only one example of it was ever finished completely.

James the post with the name was the one with the pic in it :brick:
If you look at the link I posted above there are several pages of text with pics all about the aircraft
It is the most comprehensive account I have come across on the net which is why I posted the link.
