Aquila Bristol Bulldog Filton Installed 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from September 1935, the Bristol Bulldog IIA, registration number G-ABBB (R-11), is seen at Filton, the home of Bristol Aeroplane Company, with a Bristol Aquila I attached to its fuselage. The Bulldog IIA, a versatile biplane designed for both military and civilian use, is renowned for its agility and robustness. The Aquila I, a single-engine, high-wing monoplane, was developed by the same company as a transport aircraft, offering increased speed and efficiency compared to its biplane counterparts. The installation of the Aquila I on the Bulldog IIA was a significant moment in aviation history, representing the potential for aircraft modification and adaptation. The image captures the engineering prowess and innovation of the time, as well as the collaborative spirit within the aviation industry. The combination of the Bulldog IIA and Aquila I in this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities of aircraft design and configuration. The Bulldog IIA, with its distinctive rounded fuselage and biplane wings, sits proudly on the tarmac at Filton, its sleek lines and streamlined shape a testament to the advancements in aviation technology during the interwar period. The Aquila I, with its modern monoplane design, is a striking contrast to the Bulldog IIA, yet it complements the biplane beautifully, illustrating the potential for integration and versatility in aircraft design. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the ingenuity and progress that characterized the aviation industry in the 1930s.
