The Bristol Type 101 was a British two seat fighter prototype of the 1920s, designed as a private venture. It was a single bay biplane of mixed construction, with a spruce box girder fuselage covered in plywood and steel two spar wings with fabric covering. It was powered by a 450 hp Bristol Jupiter VI and armed with two synchronised Vickers machine guns and a ring mounted Lewis gun at the rear. Cleaner and more compact than most aircraft in its class, it showed relatively high performance when first flown at Filton on 8 August 1927, piloted by Cyril Uwins, but the Air Ministry rejected it because wooden construction was seen as out of date. It was the last wooden Bristol fighter built.
