Because Le Mans is trending, let's go for something a bit left-field. This is the engine from Olivier Boré’s splendid #Bristol Type 450 recreation. Although not a BCE 1 Mk1 engine, its Bristol six does sport a six-port BCE cylinder head with recreated Kemish air-straighteners.

The multi-role Bristol Blenheim of 1936 was a tremendous leap forward in aircraft technology and became the backbone of the Royal Air Force early in the Second World War.

The Bristol Bulldog Type 105 prototype pictured here flying at Filton in May 1927.
The Bulldog performed so well in its early handling trials that it made its first public appearance in the RAF display at Hendon in July 1927. 🛫

(thread) Flight Sub Lieutenant Patrick Kennedy of Portage du Fort attended both @queensu and @mcgillu where he was an avid football player & fantastic all-around athlete. Patrick was killed when his Bristol Scout Machine Plane collided with another aircraft on Sept 26, 1916.

Pretty wild to see that @MrJWW is taking over the proposed Motor1 offices at @BicesterH. That location and track are perfect for modern publishing, so I hope he can make a success of it. youtu.be/mD97P9R4mpA

There really are some incredible stories behind these veteran cars!
