Editing Bristol Aeroplane Company (section)

==Products==
Bristol did not systematically assign project type numbers until 1923, starting with the Type 90 Berkeley.  In that year, they also retrospectively assigned type numbers in chronological order to all projects, built or not, from August 1914 onwards.  Thus the Scouts A and B did not get a type number but the Scout C did and was the Type 1.  The final Bristol project, numbered Type 225, was an unbuilt 1962 STOL transport.  Of these 225 Types, 117 were built.<ref>{{Harvnb|Barnes|1964|p=384}}</ref> This list does not include the unbuilt "paper aeroplanes"; it does include the pre-August 1914 aircraft.

=== Aircraft turrets ===
Bristol began producing gun turrets with its Bristol Type 120 submission for an Air Ministry specification. The turret was a glazed cupola over a Scarff ring mounted Lewis light machine gun. Although it had to be rotated manually, it provided protection from the slipstream for the air gunner.<ref>Clarke 1993  p26</ref> and similar turrets were fitted to the Bristol Bombay.
The first powered turrets by Bristol used hydraulics. In the B.II nose turret and B.III tail turret, a [[Vickers K machine gun]] mounted in a narrow horizontal strip was linked to gunsight. A ram rotated the strip and hence the gun horizontally, the glazing remaining stationary.

The Bristol Type B.1 was more typical of later gun turret designs; the gun elevating through a slot in the glazing which rotated. The Type B.1 had two distinct features; the cupola could be lowered reducing drag and, though the single gun was centrally aligned, the gun cradle could be pivoted independently of the turret. The latter meant that the turret could be turned with sufficient offset that the gunner could fire along the side of the rudder and engage targets directly astern.<ref>Clarke 1993 p30-31</ref> The Type B.1 was fitted to Bristol Blenheim and Beaufort, and to the [[Avro Anson]] and [[Fairey Battle]] (with two Browning machine guns) when they were used as gunnery trainers.

The Type B.IV was a lightweight (66 kg) turret designed specifically for the Beaufort mid-upper position with one (B.IV Mk 1) or two (B.IV Mk 1E) Vickers K machine guns

Type X was a two 0.303-in Browning machine gun turret for the Blenheim Mk V.to replace the earlier design.

The Type B.11 was a four gun turret developed in 1940. It was intended for a dorsal position on a Beaufighter but the design was not put into position though it was also considered for the Douglas Boston and de Havilland Mosquito too.

The Type B.12 was another four gun dorsal turret, this time designed for the Bristol Buckingham. A particular requirement was that when not in use, crew could pass through the turret space to reach the bombardier position. It was successfully tested then redesigned to take two 0.5-inch Browning heavy machine guns as the Mark II variant. The Mark IV had two 0.303 guns. 

The B.12 "Mark III" was a test of using electrical rather than hydraulic system to operate the turret; the system proved effective was adopted on the later B.16, B.17, B.18 and B.30 turrets.

A second turret was developed for the Buckingham to cover the rear below the aircraft. It was mounted at the back of the gondola type bomb aimer position under the fuselage and fitted with two Browning machine guns.

The "B.14" designation was used for a four gun remote controlled nose mounting rather than a turret. Another design intended for the Buckingham it was included on the pre-production mockup but not developed further.
