The Bristol Boarhound was a British army cooperation and liaison aircraft of the 1920s, a two seat biplane with wings of equal span and a steel frame with fabric covering. Frank Barnwell designed it as a private venture under Air Ministry Specification 8/24 to replace the Bristol Fighter, and it first flew on 8 June 1925 as the Type 93. Its structure used high tensile steel strips rolled and riveted into longerons and struts, and it was powered by a Bristol Jupiter IV with variable timing. Evaluated against the Armstrong Whitworth Atlas and others, it lost out, and the derived Type 93A Beaver was likewise rejected. Both were withdrawn from use at Filton in April 1927.
