EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Boeing 377 SGT Super Guppy, registration number F-BTGV, as it soared through the skies above during the late 1900s. Built by Aero Spacelines as the first of a total of four Super Guppy Turbines, this remarkable aircraft served Airbus for over 20 significant years. Its primary role during this time was to transport various components of the Concorde supersonic jet and Airbus sections between manufacturing sites. The Super Guppy, a modified Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, was a vital asset in the aviation industry due to its unique ability to carry oversized and awkwardly shaped cargo. With its distinctive elongated fuselage and twin turboprop engines, the Super Guppy was a sight to behold in the skies. Now, F-BTGV has found a new home at Bruntingthorpe in the United Kingdom, where it is being preserved as a cherished piece of aviation history. This iconic aircraft played a pivotal role in the development and production of some of the most groundbreaking aircraft in history. Its legacy continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
