		The Bristol Beaufighter was a mid-wing, cantilever, all-metal monoplane that carried a pilot in the nose and an observer aft of the wings.
		The Bristol Type 175 Britannia was a series of British airliners developed during the 1940s in response to a requirement from BOAC for an airliner for its medium-range Empire routes, and was adopted by the British military in 1959, remaining in service until 1975.
		Bristol Fighter was armed with a synchronized, forward-firing Vicker's machine-gun and two or three Lewis machine-guns on a Scarff ring in the rear cockpit.

	Bristol Britannia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol Type 175 Britannia was a medium/long-range airliner built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1952 to fly a number of air routes across the British Empire.
		Bristol won both the Type I and Type III contracts, soon delivering their Type I design, the Bristol Brabazon in 1949.
		After wrangling between the Ministry of Supply and BOAC over costs, the go-ahead was given in July 1948 for three prototypes, although the second and third were to be convertible to Bristol Proteus turboprops.

	Bristol Proteus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Proteus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's first successful gas-turbine engine design, a turboprop that delivered just over 4,000 hp (3,000 kW).
		The original Proteus Mk.600 delivered 3,780 hp (2,820 kW), and was going to be used on the early versions of the Britannia and the Saunders-Roe Princess flying-boat.
		The Coupled Proteus was also intended to be used on the Mk.II versions of the Bristol Brabazon, but this project was cancelled.

	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.

		In 1959 Bristol was forced to merge with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.
		In the 1930s they developed a new line of radials based on the sleeve valve principle, which would develop into some of the most powerful piston engines in the world, and could continue to be sold into the 1950s.
		In 1956 the division was renamed Bristol Aero Engines, and then merged with Armstrong Siddeley in 1958 to form Bristol Siddeley as a part of the airframe mergers that formed BAC.

	Unreal Aircraft - Lost Classics - Bristol Brabazon
		Bristol Aeroplane Company had already done a design study in 1937 for a long-range strategic bomber, so when invitations were extended in 1942 for studies related to a heavy bomber, they were at an advantage.
		When the Brabazon Committee's intercontinental airliner was proposed, however, the work already done by Bristol late in WW2 on their heavy bomber design led to them being given an order for two prototypes, to be followed by a possible ten production aircraft.
		These would save an estimated five tons in weight and boost the top speed to 330 mph at 35,000 ft. It would also impose greater airframe stresses which would have to be addressed.

	Sir Reginald Verdon Smith (1912-92) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		He was called to the bar in 1938, but on the outbreak of war, returned to Bristol to help in the vital wartime task of running of the Bristol Aeroplane Company.
		Sir Reginald was unable to resist government pressure in 1959 to merge the engine side of the Bristol Aeroplane Company with Armstrong Siddeley to form Bristol Siddeley, and the airframe side of the Bristol Aeroplane Company with English Electric, Hunting and Vickers to form the British Aircraft Corporation.
		Undoubtedly his greatest single contribution to aviation was that against government advice he went ahead with the manufacture of the engines which subsequently powered Concorde.

		The Proteus was then adapted to power the Bristol Britannia, which has had a long and successful career- The Proteus is a 4,250 SHP (shaft horse power) turbo-prop engine.
		Reduction gear, similar to that used on the Proteus aero-engine is used to drive an alternator at 1,000 RPM.
		Of the other installations, Lynton was decommissioned in 1993 and the Proteus installation was replaced by diesel engines, Mevagissey was decommissioned in 1997, the remainder are still in use, but will probably be decommissioned as system reinforcement permits.

		The basis of the Bristol Brabazon was the 1941-'42 design work already done on a projected 100-ton bomber that, to reduce the considerable drag imposed by four engine nacelles, called for engines to be buried within the wings.
		As it was, the cruising speed of the Brabazon was designed to be 330mph at 35,000 feet using Bristol Proteus gas turbines.

		Bristol beat the competition to build a four engine airliner, the likes of which had not been seen before.
		The Bristol Britannia went on to be one of Britains most successful airliners, with two production lines (at Filton and Belfast), and licence for Canadair to built two derviatives, the CL-28 Argus and CL-44 Yukon in Canada.
		With no further use for the Britannia, Bristol wished to cease their Britannia training programme, so the Operational Conversion Unit at RAF Brize Norton assumed responsibility for all training.

		The Proteus gas turbines would be located aft to exhaust through the transom.
		Failing that, a low-powered, three-shaft alternative, with a Proteus on each of two outboard shafts and a 3,000-bhp diesel on the centerline, would be developed.
