I seem to recall reading in an old Bulletin about a 412 with a 440 fitted. Does anyone know anything about that? IIRC it had a louvred bonnet to keep it cool.

I have definitely read that Bristol did experiment with using the 440, but decided turbocharging was a better performance / economy compromise.
