These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a Bristol Bulldog Mk IIA, displayed as K2227 of No. 56 Squadron RAF. The Bulldog was the standard RAF fighter of the early 1930s, equipping ten of its thirteen home defence squadrons, and the star of the celebrated air displays at Hendon in the late 1920s — though it never saw combat. It is perhaps best known today as the type in which Douglas Bader crashed in 1931, losing both his legs. Only two complete examples survive in the world, one of which is this aircraft. Built in 1930 as the Bristol company's fourth and final demonstrator, it was registered G-ABBB and used extensively at European air shows before being donated to the Science Museum in 1938. After the war it was restored to airworthy condition and continued flying at displays until September 1964, when it crashed at Farnborough — the pilot surviving with minor injuries but the aircraft seemingly beyond repair. The wreckage was salvaged by the RAF Museum and, after years of searching for surviving components, a contract for full restoration was finally placed in 1994. Using over 50% original parts, the aircraft was painstakingly rebuilt by SkySport Engineering and placed on display at Hendon in March 1999.
