Airfix | Workbench- Boeing Clipper - Long-haul travel luxury amongst the clouds
Welcome to the very first episode of our brand-new podcast!
To kick things off, we’re diving into the golden age of aviation with the iconic Boeing 314 “Clipper.”
A symbol of luxury and long-haul travel in the late 1930s and ’40s, this majestic flying boat offered passengers an experience more like a cruise than a flight—complete with dining rooms, sleeping bunks, and plush lounges.
Operated by Pan Am and later BOAC, the Clipper flew across oceans in style, defining the glamour of early air travel. And now, thanks to Airfix’s Vintage Classics range, you can recreate this aviation marvel in model form. It’s a fitting subject for episode one—celebrating the elegance, ambition, and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
