First flown as G-18-142 in 1953. Sold to Air Vietnam in October 1953. Sold to a company in Algeria in August 1957 as F-OBDR. Used by Corse Air and other operators from 1962 as F-BCDR. Last seen stored at Nîmes - Garons. Photo assumed taken at Filton. Photo from: Bristol

First flown in May 1923, the Bloodhound was two-seat reconnaissance fighter which was not successful. Four examples were built. The prototype, G-EBGG, initially had smaller tail surfaces. The wings were also tweaked. It ended up as test bed for the Bristol Jupiter VI engine - photo probably taken on 8 March 1926 after flying 25,074 miles without replacement of its Jupiter VI, 'under official ubservation' by Imperial Airways. The pilots are Dan Minchin and Charles Barnard, left. Both men became fans of the Jupiter-powered Fokker F.VIIa and made long-distance flights with Lady Anne Savile and 'The Flying Duchess' Mary of Bedford, respectively. Minchin and Anne died in a westbound Atlantic crossing attempt. Photo from: Bristol

The Bullfinch was a parasol-winged single-seat fighter which strangely was designed in such a way by Frank Barnwell that it could be changed into a two-seat sesquiplane reconnaissance fighter with a stretched fuselage and a bottom wing nailed on. It was an early application of the Jupiter engine, which Bristol took over from Cosmos Engineering. The third and last Bullfinch I monoplane was converted to the sole Bullfinch II biplane and first flew as such on 17 March 1924.

AW245 was one of the first Mark IIs to serve with the RAF when delivered to 217 Squadron in November 1941. It took part in the attack on German warships Prinz Eugen, Scharnhorst and Gneisnau (Operation Fuller) in the English Channel, February 12, 1942. Three crew members injured, AW245. It later served with No. 5 Operational Training Unit until 1945. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The first of three Berkeleys built to meet an RAF requirement for a day and night bomber. The Hawker Horsley emerged the winner. The three Bristols were taken on charge by the RAF for use in experiments by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough. At least one survived until 1930. The Berkeley was the first Bristol aircraft to be built with a model number. 90 was arrived at by counting back over past designs. Photo from: Imperial War Museums

The second Braemar triplane bomber, powered by four Packard Liberty engines. First flown on 18 February 1919 from Filton and assumed photographed there early on. Crashed at Martlesham Heath in 1921. Photo from: Bristol

The 1925 Bristol 93 Boarhound was designed to replace the Bristol Fighter in the army cooperation role. Type 93A Beaver was a development as a light bomber to replace the DH.9A. Prototype G-EBQF first flown on 23 February 1927. Had a prone bomb aiming position in the lower fuselage, to which the gunner/bomb aimer could move from rear cockpit. To Martlesham in April 1927. Only production of the Type 93 was two Type 39B Boarhound II aircraft for Mexico. Photo from: Bristol

Originally a Brigand B.1, RH798 was converted to the T.4 prototype by October 1949. Photo assumed taken at Filton. Aircraft sent to A&AEE at Boscombe Down. From August 1950, it was used by the Telecommunications Research Establishment at Defford, Worcester. Photo from: Bristol

Crashed at RAF Wyton on May 10, 1938. Engine failure on take-off resulted in the aircraft overturning and catching fire. Crew killed. Photo from: Whites Aviation Collection/Alexander Turnbull Library

The prototype Bulldog II, probably pictured early in 1928 at Filton from where it was first flown by Cyril Uwins on 21 January. Photo from: Life

View from the N of the old ATC building taken from inside "Aerospace Bristol" premises. Lots of building work happening around it. Hopefully it can be saved and become part of Aerospace Bristol.

Close up of the tail markings. After returning from Ghana in 65/66 it was used by BUA, Transglobe, British Eagle and Monarch. Broken up at Biggin Hill August 1973. Behind are Auster Antartic WE600 and HastingsTG587.
