	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.

	Bristol Aeroplane Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		Their proposal was accepted and both the Canadian and USAF F-101's were modified by Bristol, roughly doubling the lifetime of the engines.
		Bristol kept the maintenance contract for the Canadian CF-101's until the last of them were retired in 1984.
		In 1997 Bristol was acquired by Magellan Aerospace, a company formed by merging a number of Canadian and US aerospace firms.

		Amongst the jet engines of this period was the RB163 Spey, which powers the Hawker Siddeley Trident, BAC One-Eleven, Grumman Gulfstream II and Fokker F28.
		During the late 1950s and 1960s there was a significant rationalisation of all aspects of British aerospace and this included aero-engine manufacturers, culminating in the merger of Rolls-Royce and Bristol Siddeley in 1966 (Bristol Siddeley had itself resulted from the merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol in 1959).
		Bristol Siddeley, with its principal factory at Filton, near Bristol, had a strong base in military engines, including the Olympus, Viper, Pegasus and Orpheus.

	Armstrong Siddeley
		Armstrong Siddeley's rather staid image was endorsed during the 1930s by a range of six-cylinder cars with ohv engines though a four cylinder 12hp was produced up until 1936.
		A reminder that Armstrong Siddeley was one of, the country's largest manufacturers of aeroengines came in 1933 when the 5 litre six-cylinder Siddeley Special was announced with Hiduminium aluminium alloy engine.
		The very week the war in Europe ended, Armstrong Siddeley announced their first postwar models: the Lancaster four-door saloon and the Hurricane drophead coupé, echoing the names of aircraft built by the Hawker Siddeley Group (as it had become in 1935) during the war.

	BRISTOL AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES
		The Bristol Fighter was one of the outstanding military planes of the World War I period.
		When King George V and his wife, Queen Mary, came to visit Bristol in Filton in November 1917, their visit constituted royal recognition of the role of aircraft in warfare.
		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.

		Siddeley joined Wolseley that year, and for the next four years his cars were Wolseley-Siddeleys.
		The Siddeley Special that replaced the 30 had the same engine but was available in a range of styles, including a roadster with a short wheel-base which could do 90mph and a long wheel-base limousine that weighed two and a half tons.
		The original Sapphire was the basis for the last car to be produced by Armstrong Siddeley - the Star Sapphire of 1958 had a 4-litre engine and its quality and performance were to the highest standards of cars of the era.

	The P.1154 story
		The Hawker entry was the P.1150/3, using a Bristol Siddeley BS.100/9 vectored thrust engine, the aircraft being re-designated P.1154 before final submission to NATO in January 1962.
		While Hawker Siddeley questioned the degree of control that the Ministry of Aviation had over areas such as the avionics, believing they could perform these functions much better themselves, they agreed to appoint a Programme Controller to oversee the project and to adopt the PERT management system.
		Bristol Siddeley were planning to develop the BS.100 to 39,250 lb thrust by 1972, restoring any performance shortfalls caused by weight growth during development.

	Automobiles and aeroplanes: Bristol - 4Car Feature - from Channel 4
		Engine supply was more profitable for Bristol between the wars than its own range of aircraft, though around 350 single-seat Jupiter-engined Bulldogs, a lightweight interceptor biplane, were supplied to the RAF in 1928-35.
		The Bristol Aero Engines division was merged with Armstrong-Siddeley in 1956 to form Bristol-Siddeley, and then again with Rolls-Royce in 1966; the remaining aircraft division merged with companies including Vickers and Hunting to form the British Aircraft Corporation and was later absorbed into British Aerospace and then BAE Systems.
		Bristol Cars remains one of the few independent British car-makers, and continues to produce cars named for its aeronautical heritage, the Blenheim and the Fighter.

		Bristol 182 (P-GB-AM-B-?-?-J2) The Bristol 182R was designed for the 'Blue Rapier' project that asked for an unmanned, catapult-launched bomber.
		Bristol 188 (P-GB-A-X-D-N-JW2) The Bristol 188 was designed as a research aircraft for the {Avro 730} programme (itself cancelled).
		It was adapted from an earlier turreted fighter design, and as a consequence had a strange armament layout: the 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.

		Medieval Bristol was the richest town in England after London and York, and it was also the port from which John Cabot famously embarked on his historic voyage to Newfoundland in 1497.
		Bristol became both a centre for importing arms for Europe and the Royalist administrative headquarters in the south-west, later almost an alternative Royalist capital.
		The loss of Bristol in 1645 was therefore a huge blow to the Royalist cause: it now became a parliamentary military garrison and a vital supply base for Cromwell’s war in Ireland.

	The Ultimate Sabre - Orpheus Testbed
		Initially a private venture project, Bristol’s Orpheus was funded as the preferred engine for the future NATO lightweight fighter aircraft (a programme that bore the FIAT G.91, Dassault Etendard VI, Breguet Taon etc., all of which used the Orpheus at one time).
		With modification complete, it is thought that XB982 was dismantled and transported to Bristol’s test airfield at Filton by road; it made its first Orpheus-powered flight in the hands of Godfrey Auty on 3 July 1958.
		One of the original Bristol team was Mike Webber, whose first flight in XB982 occurred on 1 February 1959, a 25-minute affair primarily aimed at acclimatising himself to the Sabre’s handling qualities.

	Helwan HA-300 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The HA-300 was orginally conceived as a tailless delta, powered by one Bristol Siddeley Orpheus B.Or.12 turbojet, rated at 3,057 kg dry and 3,706 kg with reheat.
		In view of the moderately large approach incidences associated with highly loaded deltas such as the HA-300, the pilot of the HA-300 would appear to suffer an exceptionally poor view for landing, and it is therefore possible that in the production variant some form of mechanical nose dropping would have been used.
		The Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet was initially planned to power the HA-300, but it was not powerfull enough for the HA-300 to reach supersonic speeds.
