The Andover was a military transport variant of the HS.748 airliner, with a rear loading ramp and kneeling landing gear. It equipped overseas RAF squadrons at Seletar and Sharjah until these were withdrawn. This example was eventually used for calibration duties.

This was the second and final Bristol 188 to fly, the prototype having first taken to the air in 1962. It was an experimental design to investigate the effects of heating on the aircraft at high speeds. Constructed largely of stainless steel, it achieved a maximum speed of 1.88 Mach against a design target of 2 Mach. It is part of the RAF Museum Cosford collection.

The SNAKE suffix to the serial indicated that the aircraft was on delivery to the RAF in South East Asia and was not to be kept in the Middle East. The aircraft carries markings on the nose, presented by the Indian Air Force to the RAF Museum. I was lucky in that other aircraft had been moved around on the day of my visit allowing an unobscured view. It has since been moved to Hendon.
