Aircraft XF926, 1963 Bristol 188, c/n 13519, Although a maximum speed of Mach 1.88 was reached this fell short of the required Mach 2 performance. This, combined with fuel leaks, an endurance of only 25 minutes and the cancellation of the Avro 730, led to the cancellation of the Bristol 188 project, at EGWC, photo by Chris Hall
