Canadair Cargo Eleven Prototype Ramp Sole Wisley
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the sole Canadair CL-44-O, identified as N447T, of Transmeridian Air Cargo is seen parked on the ramp at Wisley next to the prototype BAC One-Eleven 475. The Canadair CL-44-O, a versatile turboprop transport aircraft, was manufactured by Canadair between 1954 and 1961, with a total production of 222 units. This particular aircraft, N447T, is a unique piece of aviation history, making it a standout among other aircraft on the tarmac. The Canadair CL-44-O was known for its impressive cargo capacity and short takeoff and landing performance, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including military and civilian uses. With its powerful engines and robust design, it could transport heavy loads over long distances, making it a valuable asset for companies like Transmeridian Air Cargo. In contrast, the prototype BAC One-Eleven 475, located next to the Canadair CL-44-O, is an entirely different type of aircraft. The BAC One-Eleven, a British jet airliner, was designed to carry passengers, and the 475 model was the first to be built. The prototype, which first flew in 1964, represented a significant step forward in aviation technology, offering increased speed and efficiency compared to the turboprop Canadair CL-44-O. This photograph captures a moment in time when two iconic aircraft from different eras coexist on the same ramp, showcasing the rich history and diversity of aviation. The Canadair CL-44-O, with its rugged design and impressive cargo capabilities, and the BAC One-Eleven 475, a pioneering jet airliner, stand side by side, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation that has shaped the world of aviation.
