The Jetstream first prototype. It was converted to a Srs. 200 in January 1970, and withdrawn from use at Filton in February 1970 following the demise of Handley Page. It was broken up in October 1972 and the fuselage moved to Scottish Aviation at Prestwick. This was later scrapped, a small section of the cockpit being saved and preserved at Aeroventure, Doncaster. (The DH.125 just visible inside the hangar was the first production aircraft G-ARYC operated by Rolls-Royce, now preserved at the Mosquito Museum at London Colney.)

Developed from the Bristol 118 general-purpose military aircraft, the Type 120 featured an enclosed, rotating turret for the observer/gunner. First flown from Filton on 29 January 1932 with the test registration R-6, the prototype was evaluated by the RAF at Martlesham Heath later in the year as K3587. Despite their good characteristics, only two Type 118/120 aircraft were built. Photo from: Bristol

A sale of G-AVMR to Okada Air of Nigeria was intended, but the deal fell through. So the aircraft was stored at Bristol-Filton, later at Bournemouth, and was not used again for commercial service. It was scrapped in 2001.

The Tramp was a development from the Bristol Pullman. In 1919, Bristol designer Frank Barnwell entered discussions with the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company about the feasibility of flying boats. They had extensive knowledge about steam turbine and they suggested to use that method of propulsion. The Pullman was the most suited candidate testbed. Unfortunately the combination wasn't very succesful, as the frame could not handle the power of the turbines. Only 2 frames were built, but neither ever flew. Used as ground test rigs for several years. Photo from Bristol Aeroplane Company
