The Bristol Grampus was a British passenger biplane proposed by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company but never built. After the First World War the company looked at a general purpose passenger or cargo aircraft, and Frank Barnwell proposed a single engined biplane for six passengers powered by a 500 hp Siddeley Tiger, the Grampus I. The directors thought it too large for the market and worried about Tiger supply, so Barnwell returned with a smaller three passenger Grampus II. Eight passenger variants with four Lucifer engines, and with two Hall-Scott engines for the American market, were also proposed. The project was abandoned in February 1920 because none of the designs seemed to meet the criteria for an Air Ministry competition.
