Bristol Freighter Mk.21 prototype G-AIFF in test markings flying with one engine stopped and propeller feathered. In a similar test on a single-engine climb it was lost when the fin structure failed. Note the absence of dorsal fillet applied to later marks to correct this weakness.
Aeroplane May 13th 1949: * p.536 - Bristol 170 on a development flight from Filton crashed into the English Channel, 12 ml SE of Portland Bill 6.5.49. Asst CTP J A C (Dick) Northway and Chief Flight Test Engineer John Radcliffe plus 5 others from Bristols all killed.
A: 13.5.49 p.536 - Bristol 170 G-AIFF c/n 12766, originally the Mk.XI prototype Freighter with rounded wingtips which increased the span to 108 ft. It remained a test aircraft with Bristol and was modified to become the prototype Mk.21 with more powerful Hercules 672/673 engines. The purpose of the flight was to measure the strains on the rear fuselage during yawed cruising flight, and single engine climb rate. During single-engine climb the fin structure failed and directional control could no longer be maintained. The aircraft crashed into the English Channel 12 mis SE of Portland Bill. Later G-AHJJ crashed near Cowbridge 21.3.50 during similar tests, which led to the addition of the dorsal fillet and stronger fin on the Mk.31.
