  Bristol Buckingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bristol Buckingham was a World War II design for a medium day bomber for the Royal Air Force (RAF).
In 1940 Bristol was working on a project called the Bristol Beaumont, essentially a bomber variant of the Beaufighter.
Bristol responded with the Buckingham B. Mk 1, powered by the new very powerful Bristol Centaurus engine, and mounting gun installations in the nose, dorsal and ventral turrets.

 Bristol 163 Buckingham - bomber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
When design of a Bristol Blenheim replacement was begun, the Bristol team had no means of knowing that their new tactical day bomber, the Type 163 Buckingham, was to be rendered obsolete before it had flown by the superlative performance of a private venture wooden bomber.
Bristol's earlier project to Specification B.2/41, the Type 162, itself replacing a previous Bristol Beaufighter bomber scheme, the Type 161 Beaumont, was revised as a result of official delays in finalising requirements.
It was further delayed by teething troubles with the new Bristol Centaurus engines, and it was not until 4 February 1943 that the prototype Buckingham flew, without armament.

 thePeerage.com - Exhibit
Bristol, too, in his articles against Clarendon, 10 July 1663, affirms that in his practice and profession Arlington had been constant to protestantism; and at his impeachment in 1674 he was attacked, not as a papist, but only as a promoter of popery.
On the dismissal of Clarendon in 1667, Arlington's influence appears to have declined, in the face of the enmity of Buckingham and Bristol; Buckingham, in particular, took pleasure in slighting him (Pepys, 12 July 1667).
Buckingham, therefore, who was one of them, was duped by being allowed to employ himself in arranging a sham treaty, every article of which, except that mentioned, was the same as in the first, of which he was ignorant.

 Bristol Buckingham
Samoloty "Buckingham" miały być produkowane w macierzystych zakładach firmy Bristol w Filton, w związku z czym znajdującą się tam linię montażową myśliwców "Beaufighter" przeniesiono do nowej fabryki w Banwell.
Planowano jeszcze wykorzystanie bombowców "Buckingham" w ostatniej fazie walk we Włoszech oraz na Dalekim Wschodzie w ofensywie przeciwko siłom japońskim (w tym celu Bristol otrzymał nawet polecenie opracowania wersji tropikalnej), ale i z tych zamiarów zrezygnowano.
W 1944 roku na bazie samolotu "Buckingham" powstał jeszcze wstępny projekt studialny samolotu rozpoznania fotograficznego dalekiego zasięgu oznaczony Type 169, będący propozycją konstruktorów firmy Bristol na specyfikację nr PR.8/44 (Long-range Photo-recconaissance).
