I've had these scanned now. My late fathers images, accrued by him whilst working in the HDO (Helicopter Design office) at Bristol Aeroplane Company Helicopter Division/then Westland 1953 to 1987.The first is 2 of the 3 191 airframes being built originally with provision for the Alvis Leonides Major engine. This may be at Filton, or possibly Oldmixon. The 2nd image shows the Ground Rig 1 aircraft on the Test gantry at Oldmixon, when converted for use as a test airframe for the Napier Gazelle engine, icw the Type 192/Belvedere.
