Bristol Bullet

The Bristol Type 32 Bullet was a British biplane racing aircraft, designed in 1919 by Frank Barnwell as a high speed testbed for the Jupiter engine that Roy Fedden was developing for the Cosmos Engineering company, and to publicise the company name in air races. It was a conventional single seat biplane with single bay wings of thin low drag section. It first flew in June 1920, piloted by Cyril Uwins, performed disappointingly in that year's Aerial Derby and was then modified. Later with a 380 hp Jupiter II it came second in the 1922 Aerial Derby, and it was used to accumulate flying hours for the Jupiter's type approval.
