Few things have given me greater satisfaction than the invitation to give the Seventh Barnwell Memorial Lecture, and tell the story of the early history of the Bristol Engine Department.
The Bristol Aeroplane Company which was founded by that great merchant venturer and pioneer of transport, Sir George White, has just passed its 50th Anniversary. I always look upon the 20 odd years spent with the Bristol Company as among some of the happiest and most stimulating in my engineering career.
