The cockpit is part of the forward section of the second prototype Bristol Britannia which force landed in the mudflats off of Severn Beach near Filton on 4th February 1954 following engine failure. Fortunately all of the crew survived. The aircraft was recovered but was no longer airworthy and was used as a static training airframe.
