[edit] Bristol Brabazon

If there is a runt in this litter, it is definitely the Brabazon. Or is my understanding of its size as compared to the rest incorrect? For reference, a 777 is bigger in most dimensions, and close in the rest, and it is not lumped in with this group. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 16:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

ah, but what is the definition for inclusion, there isn't one specificied so i went with the fact that of its time it was a giant aircraft (like the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets) was of its time.GraemeLeggett 16:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

It's sort of a loose definition, and I figured that was the reason you included it. I personally vote for including aircraft that are contemporarily considered giants. Otherwise we are basically listing size records in sequential chronological order. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 16:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] date context

Is it worth putting the decade after each entry so that the historic context can be considered? And on a related note - can the template take the big flying boats eg Princess. GraemeLeggett 16:36, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
