The Bristol Berkeley was a single engine day or night bomber built to a British government specification, Air Ministry Specification 26/23 of August 1923, which called for a two seat bomber with a Rolls-Royce Condor engine. It was designed largely by W. T. Reid with finishing touches from Frank Barnwell, and was a fabric covered, all metal structured three bay biplane with equal span wings. The 650 hp Condor drove a two blade propeller. The first of three Berkeleys flew on 5 March 1925, and it was the first Bristol aircraft to receive a type number at the start of its design. The Air Ministry had already decided that single engine aircraft were unsuitable for night bombing, and no production contract followed.
