The Bristol Type 133 was a single seat, single engine monoplane fighter armed with four guns, built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company to meet Specification F.7/30, using stressed skin construction and a retractable undercarriage. It was the first aircraft intended for RAF service with a retractable undercarriage and the first Bristol aircraft with stressed skin wings, made of Alclad sheet. A low wing cantilever monoplane with cranked, inverted gull wings, it was powered by a Bristol Mercury radial engine. Carrying the experimental marking R-10, it first flew on 8 June 1934 with Cyril Uwins, who was impressed, but the single example crashed before the official trials began.
