The Bristol Type 118 was a general purpose military aircraft, a two seat biplane built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company in the early 1930s, powered by a Bristol Mercury radial engine and aimed at overseas markets. It was a private venture to give foreign air forces unable to afford specialised types one machine able to act as a fighter, bomber, reconnaissance or casualty extraction aircraft. Frank Barnwell designed a clean single bay biplane with staggered unequal span wings and a fabric covered metal fuselage. The second prototype, the Type 118A with a Mercury V, flew on 29 January 1932. The Type 120, a Pegasus engined variant, was entered in an Air Ministry competition and later used for armament tests. Two aircraft were built.
