One of the old workhorses of the skies - the #Bristol Freighter has returned home to Filton. The plane is one of a handful left in the world and has travelled all the way from #NewZealand to join the collection at Aerospace Bristol in the historic #Brabazon hangar | ITV News West Country

Join us for morning tea and hear the story behind the Bristol Freighter Project. A favourite attraction since arriving at Founders Heritage Park, the Bristol Freighter aircraft has had a hearty refurbishment and sparkling paint job over the last 12 months. Fueled by generous volunteer energy, aviation enthusiasm, coffee and Tim Tams, this project is a feel-good story about what happens when the community rolls up their sleeves and gets to work.

Trapped in Lake Erie's icy grip near Buffalo, the freighter Manitoulin found itself at a frosty standstill. Enter Bristol Bay, the fearless ice cutter, carving paths through the rapidly thickening ice to free the frozen freighter from winter's frosty clutches. It was a classic winter showdown—steel versus ice—with steel winning the day. 📷David C. Oliver Photography | Andy Parker

The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Great Lakes Cutter Bristol Bay came to the aid of the 690-ft vessel Herbert C. Jackson after it became beset by ice last week on the St. Clair River. Cpt. Ben Feinman of the Jackson caught the process on camera. The Jackson is the smallest ship in the Interlake Steamship Company fleet and was heading to Detroit to finish their season when it became surrounded by ice. 🎥: Ben Feinman/Interlake Steamship Company #freighter #freight #ship #shipping #greatlakes #grea
