Planemike…. put ‘Google’ or ‘Google translator’ in the search box on your computer and see whats on offer…if you have the Google homepage installed it should offer you an automatic translation of foreign language text items
It comes up with a robo-translator top right on my computer…using the Google homepage
U.S. use of Britannias
This ,I think, is as close as it got! As the caption says Northeast ordered Britannias, at least one was painted up, but they were cancelled and Viscounts purchased instead. If the Britannia had been on time it could have picked up a lot of U.S. domestic orders
