A number of Bristol Siddeley engines of Bristol heritage continued to be developed by Rolls-Royce, notably the Olympus turbojet and the Pegasus.

Aircraft were selected based upon their engines ; only those with the more powerful Bristol Olympus 301 engines were considered suitable.

Bristol Siddeley, which had itself resulted from the merger of Armstrong Siddeley and Bristol in 1959, and with its principal factory at Filton, near Bristol, had a strong base in military engines, including the Olympus, which was chosen for Concorde.

The Bristol-Siddeley Rolls-Royce Olympus was also given reheat for the TSR-2 and was fitted to Concorde in such a state ( Bristol Siddeley had by then become part of Rolls-Royce and the nozzle and reheat system was developed by Snecma ).

In 1961, Snecma and Bristol Siddeley agreed to a joint venture to produce the power plant for the Concorde, which would become the Rolls-Royce / Snecma Olympus 593. the main body of the engine came from the Bristol Olympus with the refinements being the addition of the variable intakes necessary for supersonic flight.

Armstrong Siddeley was merged with the aircraft engine business of Bristol Aero Engines that had developed the Olympus engines for the TSR 2 ( that engine was subsequently developed for used in ) to form Bristol Siddeley as part of an ongoing rationalisation of the British aerospace sector.

Although he managed to take-off and eventually land successfully elsewhere, the jet blast from the aircraft's four Bristol Siddeley Olympus 201 engines severely damaged a filling station at the eastern end of the runway, sent cars spinning on the A38 trunk road and wrecked the boundary fence steel railings.

On 3 December 1962, Bristol Siddeley Engines were using Vulcan XA894 as a flying test bed for the Olympus 22R, which was designed specifically to power the ill-fated BAC TSR-2 bomber.

Sir Stanley George Hooker, FRS ( 30 September 1907 – 24 May 1984 ) was a jet engine engineer, first at Rolls-Royce where he worked on the earliest designs such as the Welland and Derwent, and later at Bristol Aero Engines where he helped bring the troubled Proteus and Olympus to market, and then designed the famous Pegasus.

This two-spool design, pinoeered on the Bristol Olympus, resulted in increased efficiency.

Bluebird K7 was fitted with a lighter and more powerful Bristol Orpheus engine, taken from a Folland Gnat jet aircraft, which developed of thrust.

In the village of Coniston, the Ruskin Museum has a small display of Donald Campbell memorabilia, and the Bristol Orpheus engine recovered in 2001 is also displayed.

The idea of using the same engine for vertical and horizontal flight by altering the path of the thrust led to the Bristol Siddeley Pegasus engine which used rotating ducts to direct thrust over a range of angles.

Aircraft production operations were absorbed into Hawker Siddeley and its engine operations into Bristol Siddeley, as part of the rationalisation of British aircraft manufacturers, and the Blackburn name was dropped completely in 1963.

In Britain 2-litre sports cars were initially popular ( the Bristol engine being readily available and cheap ), subsequently 1100 cc sports racers became a very popular category for young drivers ( effectively supplanting 500 cc F3 ), with Lola, Lotus, Cooper and others being very competitive, although at the other end of the scale in the early to mid 1960s the national sports racing scene also attracted sophisticated GTs and later a crop of large-engined " big bangers " the technology of which largely gave rise to Can-Am but soon died out.

More successful was Bolas's next design, the Plover naval fighter, a single bay wooden biplane powered by one 436 hp Bristol Jupiter IV engine.

Of mixed wood, fabric, aluminium and steel construction, it had unequal span, warren-braced rectangular wings and the first aircraft was powered by a 128 hp Bristol Lucifer engine and had mahogany plywood " Consuta " type floats.

Although it was to be several years before Bristol showed any profit from the aero engine division, the Jupiter engine eventually proved enormously successful: indeed, during the inter-war period the aero-engine division was more successful than the parent company and Bristol came to dominate the market for air-cooled radial engines.

The engine developed from this project found its way into many successful motor cars manufactured by other companies, such as Cooper, Frazer Nash, and AC, and in and powered the Bristol 450 sports prototype to class victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

This engine saw little use, but the simpler nine-cylinder version known as the Bristol Jupiter was clearly a winning design.

This was built on a stretched Ace chassis with coil suspension all around and a 2. 2-litre Bristol engine.

In 1961, Bristol stopped producing their own engines-and once again, Ken Rudd came to the rescue, suggesting that AC use a 6-cylinder engine from the Ford Zephyr.

The Scottish Argyll company used its own, much simpler and efficient, single-sleeve system in its cars, a system which, after extensive development, saw substantial use in British aircraft engines of the 1940s, such as the Napier Sabre and Bristol Hercules and Centaurus, only to be supplanted by the jet engine.

E. Mark cites Caproni Ca 30 and Bristol TB. 8, both of 1913, as one of the first of heavier-than-air aircraft purposely designed for bombing.

Professor Mark Horton of Bristol University said that " this may prove to be the oldest complete remains of an English royal.

The delegation on behalf of the Allies included negotiators such as the U. S. Admiral Mark L. Bristol, who served as the United States High Commissioner and championed Turkish efforts.
