	Bristol, England's Cities, Towns, Villages and Settlements
		Bristol is an English city and county and one of the three administrative centres of South West England (the others being Plymouth and Exeter).
		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 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 Freighter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Freighter is a somewhat bulbous and cumbersome-looking aircraft.
		Bristol Freighters were operated briefly by the Pakistan Air Force.
		One Freighter was in service in turn with British Ministry of Supply (G-AIMI), the RAF (WB482), the RAAF (A81-1) and subsequently went into commercial use in Australia until 1978 after which it went on to become a museum exhibit and was given over to the RAAF museum at Point Cook, Victoria, Australia in 1988.

	Bristol Hercules
		It was the first of their sleeve valve designs to see widespread use, powering many aircraft in the mid-World War II time frame.
		Bristol had introduced their first sleeve valve designs in as the 750 horsepower class Perseus and the 500hp class Aquila, which they intended to supply throughout the 1930s.
		It was used in the Avro York[?] and Bristol Freighter[?] cargo planes, the Short Solent[?] flying boat[?], and the Handley-Page Hermes[?] and Hastings[?].

		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 instead show it as part of Gloucestershire, and as the city spilled south of the river, it took the County with it.
		Bristol was made a city in 1542, with the former Abbey of St Augustine becoming Bristol Cathedral.
		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 Aero Collection
		Bristol started building aero engines on the Filton site around 1920, but the line can be traced back to the Brazil-Staker motorcar manufacturer, who built Rolls-Royce engines under licence during World War I. The company was taken over by Cosmos Engineering, who built the Mercury and the Jupiter radial engines.
		The Bristol Hercules has 14 cylinders in two rows, and is a sleeve-valved radial air-cooled engine.
		A scaled-down version of the engine, the Bristol Siddeley Gyron Junior, was used on the Bristol 188 stainless steel research aircraft, which was designed to investigate the effect of supersonic speeds on airframe structure.

		There are no Freighters in Europe, and infact it is probably the only commercially successful British aircraft where there is no example preserved in the UK or Europe.
		The Bristol Aero Collection is preparing to receive a Bolingbroke from the USA later this year.
		The aircraft is unusual in that unlike most surviving Bolingbrokes, it was not built as a trainer, and has a combat history patroling for both U-Boats on the East Coast and Japanese submarines on the West Coast of Canada and in Alaska.

	Australian National Aviation Museum - Bristol Freighter
		The Bristol Freighter was the first purpose-built civilian heavy freight aircraft to enter service in Australia, it featured large clam shell doors at the front of a large "container" like fuselage allowing complete cars and other large loads to be carried.
		The first civilian Freighter in Australia was a Mark 1A "Demonstrator" chartered to QANTAS and written off in New Guinea in 1947, and a second Mark 21 "Demonstrator" was leased to Australian National Airway's in 1948 for assessment.
		Bristol Freighters played a major role in the development of air freight in Australia including the development of the Air Beef scheme in WA.

	Bristol Aeroplane Company
		Bristol was involved in the post war renaissance of British civilian aircraft as inspired by the Brabazon Committee report.
		At the same time the Bristol Britannia turboprop-powered airliner proved a success and it and Bristol Freighter transport aircraft were produced in quantity during the 1950s.
		A research aircraft, the Bristol 188, was constructed in the 1950s to test the feasibilty of stainless steel as a material in a Mach 2.0 airframe.

	Bristol Freighter (CF-WAE)
		The 170 MK 31 Freighter was designed and built in England in the mid 1940s as a military transport.
		Bristol built 214 of them and supplied to the RCAF, RAAF and RNZAF, as well as various civil operators throughout the world, including Trans-Canada Air Lines.
		The Bristol Freighter was always considered to be just a little on the ugly side.

	Flying the Bristol Freighter
		The tall “T” handled throttles were coloured red for port and green for starboard as were the pitch levers and friction nuts.
		We called this “the Bristol cough” and no explanation of this was ever given despite heavy discussions with ground engineers.
		Looking back, I feel the Bristol was the end of an era and I now feel privileged to have been part of it.

	Bristol Owners Club : History of the Bristol Marque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Bristol Blenheim (shown left) was introduced to Royal Air Force service in 1937, and its younger sister by just one year, the Bristol Beaufighter, was introduced to RAF service in 1938.
		A frequent query is “why was the Bristol model that succeeded the Type 411 called the Type 603?” The answer is that it was introduced in the 603rd year after the City of Bristol had been granted its Royal charter, which gave it the unique distinction of being "a County unto itself".
		In November 1999, the Bristol Blenheim 3 was revealed, advancing further the aerodynamic development of the the car including a completely new frontal treatment incorporating a cleverly engineered aerofoil section in the grille aperture.

	Bristol Type 170 Freighter & Wayfarer
		The Bristol Type 170 was born from the suggestion by General Orde Wingate - of "Chindits" fame - in 1944 for an aircraft which could fly vehicles and supplies from rough jungle airstrips in the Far East.
		Despite this, a Bristol Freighter could cost anything from £ 33 000 and a Wayfarer from £ 47 000 and the fact that 214 units were eventually sold is a testament to the value for money that the Type 170 represented.
		The Freighter had clamshell nose doors and a strengthened floor to accept vehicles and cargo up to 4 1/2 tons in weight while the fixed nose Wayfarer was a passenger version with separate passenger and crew side entrance doors, interior trim and cabin heating.

	Bristol
		The Bristol has always had an enviable reputation as a car that was superbly designed and made of top quality materials, regardless of cost.
		By mid 1947, the different intentions of the Aldingtons and Bristol were becoming clear and Bristol severed its ties with AFN, returning control of AFN to the Aldington family.
		At the end of WW2, Bristol, like other aero engineering and manufacturing industries, possessed a huge surplus of skilled labour and were faced with the need to find some alternative products until a new aeroplane market emerged.

		By the mid-'30s however he had worn down his father's resistance sufficiently to build a hydroplane, which he named after the current Bristol Aircraft, Bulldog I. By 1937 in Bulldog II, he had captured 5 World Water Speed Records in the 400 kilogram class and in 1938 took the 4 litre World Speed Record.
		He soon became assistant managing director and when the War ended, he was the inspiration behind the Bristol Freighter.
		Since he would not countenance the manufacture of mass produced vehicles, which was planned when Bristol Cars became the property of Bristol Siddeley Engines in 1966, he bought Bristol Cars in partnership with one of the Company's agents, Anthony Crook.

	Art Impact - making an impact with art
		The aircraft factory at Filton, to the north of Bristol, produced thousands of aircraft, from the 1910 Boxkite to the last Concorde in 1979.
		By the outbreak of World War II, now known as the Bristol Aeroplane Company, it was the one of the largest aircraft factories in the world, producing the famous Blenheim, and its derivatives - the Beaufort, Beaufighter and Brigand.
		Many were converted to freighters, and ended their careers flying cargo from remote locations around the world.

	Airliners.net: Bristol 170 Freighter
		Design of the Bristol Freighter began in 1944 in anticipation of demand for a rugged airliner and freighter once WW2 was over, plus potential military requirements.
		Bristol's Type 170 started out as a private venture design and was developed under the leadership of technical director L G Frise (who also designed the Frise aileron).
		The last flight of a Bristol 170 was made on September 6 2004, when Hawkair Aviation ferried C-GYQS to the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada.
