	Bristol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1373 Edward III of England proclaimed "that the said town of Bristol withall be a County by itself and called the county of Bristol for ever", but maps usually show it as part of Gloucestershire, and as the city spilled south of the river, it took the county with it.
		Bristol's fiercely independent, pioneering spirit continues and in the early 21st Century is home to one of the largest and most diverse DIY music communities in the UK.
		Bristol is home to two major institutions of higher education: the University of Bristol, a "redbrick" chartered in 1909, and the University of the West of England, formerly Bristol Polytechnic, which gained university status in 1992.

	Bristol F.2 Fighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War flown by the Royal Flying Corps.

	BRISTOL AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES
		The Bristol Fighter was one of the outstanding military planes of the World War I period.
		The Bulldog fighter was an exception; nearly 450 were built from 1927 to 1934, for the Royal Air Force and for eight other nations.
		In addition, the work of this period initiated the practice of using Bristol engines with Bristol aircraft even when motors from firms such as Rolls-Royce were available.

	Bristol Fighter
		Bristol's Project Fighter continues apace and is set to bring the car company into the 21st Century with a bang.
		Bristol’s engineers are said to have made it very refined with a pleasing degree of smoothness and refinement along with excellent fuel economy in normal driving conditions due to high gearing, low weight and very low drag.
		Bristol claim that they've gone public on the project at what many would consider a very early stage, to save them the hassles of secret testing and camouflaging their test cars etc.

	Shane Weier's Scratchbuilt Bristol F2b
		Von Richthofen never held the Bristol Fighter in much regard, but when it was flown aggressively, as a fighter, with the pilot using his forward firing Vickers gun to attack while his observer protected his back, it became probably the most effective two seater of World War One.
		The Bristol F.2B has a V-12 motor, so aside from the engine block I needed 12 cylinders, 12 sets of valve gear, 24 springs, 2 carburettors, intake and exhaust manifolds, fuel lines, coolant lines, 24 spark plugs, 24 plug wires and so on and so forth.
		Bristol used wood for their fairings but I used 5 thou plastic card wrapped around the legs and glued.

	Bristol Fighter: more versions - 4Car News from Channel 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Bristol has announced more versions of its new Fighter coupe, "probably the fastest front-engined road car ever made" and offered in standard form developing up to 550bhp (from £195,000 plus VAT).
		Bristol says that this all gives the Fighter a drag coefficient of just 0.255, the lowest of any production car, and further improves acceleration, top speed, handling balance and high-speed stability.
		Bristol notes, however, that it "has no intention of entering our cars in any competitive events in the foreseeable future", despite the Competition labelling - a shame, because it would be great to see a Fighter competing alongside the Aston Martin DBR9 on the GT and Le Mans Series scene.

		The Bristol Fighter was designed in 1916 as a replacement for the B.E. two-seaters.
		Having shown such versatility during the war it was one of the designs chosen by Hugh Trenchard to equip the peacetime Royal Air Force.
		Despite increasing age and poor flying conditions in many parts of the Empire, where it helped to establish the Royal Air Force's role as aerial policeman, the Bristol Fighter soldiered on until 1932.

		One of them, the Bristol Aeroplane Company, had a project for the construction of a two-seat general purpose aircraft which could be used both ways: as a reconnaissance plane, and also in the tight maneuvers of air battles.
		Apart from on the Western Front, the Bristol Fighter was widely used in other theaters of war; in Italy and Palestine.
		By the end of WWI the Bristol Company had received orders for 5,500 of these planes, 3,101 of which were transferred to combat units.

	Bristol Fighter F.2B
		The Bristol F.2 was developed in response to a 1915 Royal Flying Corps specification for a reconnaisance and artillery spotter aircraft that would be capable of defending itself.
		This prototype became known as the Bristol Fighter, designated the Bristol F.2, and popularly known as the Brisfit.
		Although the fighter had a very rocky start in combat (in its first mission, 4 out of 6 fighters dispatched were shot down) due to misguided attempts to use the flexible rear gun as the primary armament, the Brisfit came in to its own when the pilots started flying it as a fighter.

		: The Bristol F2B was a development of the F2A which had been designed to fill the need in 1916 for a reconnaissance aircraft that was capable of ‘looking after itself’.
		When the F2B arrived at the front with its Rolls Royce Falcon III of 275 horsepower it was so successful that the Ministry for Defense soon followed up the initial order for 200 aircraft with many more orders.
		The Bristol Fighter, as it became known, was such a versatile design that it continued in service until long after the Great War was finished and it was not until 1932 that the RAF finally relinquished its greatest two-seat fighter.

		Bristol 182 The Bristol 182R was designed for the 'Blue Rapier' project that asked for an unmanned, catapult-launched bomber.
		It was adapted from an earlier turreted fighter design, and as a consequence had a strange armament layout: three 20mm guns were fitted behind the cockpit, pointing around 15 degrees up; the two in the lower fuselage were aligned at the same angle.
		The Fury was a beautifully streamlined biplane fighter, that reintroduced liquid cooled engines for fighters; its layout and construction were based on that of the Hart bomber.

		As was mentioned in the history, the Bristol Fighter had a unique Mid-Gap fuselage-to-wing mounting arrangement, which results in the fuselage being suspended midway between the bottom and top wings.
		The Bristol Fighter has some rather unique rigging features so if the modeler chooses to rig the model a good diagram and/or photos are a must.

		It was so good that it formed the backbone of the RAF in overseas service policing for the far-flung frontier territories of the Empire throughout the interwar period until it was finally retired from service in 1934.
		The definitive F.2B differed from the original Fighter in having a smaller horizontal tail with larger elevators, thus improving maneuverability.
