The Bristol Bullfinch was an experimental British military aircraft first flown in 1922, built in both parasol wing monoplane and biplane versions. Frank Barnwell designed it as a parasol wing single seat fighter that could be converted into a two seat biplane, so that one design met the Royal Air Force requirements for both an interceptor and a reconnaissance fighter. The Air Ministry wrote Specification 2/21 around the idea and ordered three prototypes in June 1921. It was meant to use the Jupiter engine, whose rights Bristol had just acquired from the bankrupt Cosmos Engineering. The first prototype, a Type 52 monoplane, flew on 6 November 1922. Both versions proved unsuccessful and only the three prototypes were built.
