Of similar construction to the parallel Type 105 Bulldog, the Bullpup was ordered in prototype form to participate in the F.20/27 interceptor contest. It was first flown on 28 April 1928 with a Jupiter VI engine in place of the 480hp Bristol Mercury IIA for which it was intended. With the Mercury IIA, it was evaluated at Martlesham in the spring of 1929. Smaller and faster than the Bulldog, and possessing superior handling characteristics to those of its stablemate, it was nevertheless deemed to afford an insufficient advance to warrant production, and the sole prototype was utilised as an engine test-bed until 1935 when it was scrapped.

Designed as a private venture, the Type 101 two-seat fighter was powered by a 450hp Bristol Jupiter VI nine cylinder radial. The fuselage was a ply-covered spruce structure and the wings of steel with fabric skinning. Armament comprised two synchronised 7.7mm Vickers guns and a Scarff-mounted Lewis gun. The Type 101, which was first flown on 27 July 1927, offered a relatively high performance, but was rejected by the Air Ministry because of its use of wood. As no other customers presented themselves, the prototype served in the test bed role.

Designed by Wilfrid T Reid to meet Air Ministry Specification 3/22 issued in June 1922 for a two-seat fighter, the Bloodhound was flown for the first time at the end of May 1923. Featuring a welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, and powered by a 425hp Bristol Jupiter IV engine, the Bloodhound carried an armament of two synchronised 7.7mm Vickers machine guns and a 7.7mm Lewis gun on a Scarff mounting on the rear cockpit. Three additional Bloodhounds were built to the order of the Air Ministry, the first of these being of all-metal construction and the others having wooden wings and tail. All three were powered by the Jupiter IV, but the engine of the third aircraft was fitted with an RAE supercharger. The three aircraft were delivered to Martlesham and Farnborough between March and September 1925, but no production was undertaken.
The original prototype was successively fitted with the Jupiter V and VI, and served primarily as an engine test bed.

In 1927 a Mexican purchasing commission placed contracts in the UK for 10 new Hispano-Suiza engined Bristol Fighters and two Type 93B Boarhound II reconnaissance fighters.

The Bristol Tourer was originally a conversion of the Bristol F.2b Fighter built for and flown by the RAF in World War I. At the end of the war a number were converted in the UK as low-cost commercial airliners, fitted with a 134 kw (180 hp) Wolseley Viper, 179 kw (240 hp) Siddeley Puma, or 224 kw (300 hp) Hispano Suiza engine. Four distinct conversions were built, all flown from the front seat, varying in type of accommodation provided for the passengers, ie an enclosed cabin or open cockpit. Bristol type-numbers 27, 28, 29 and 47 were allotted to the series in 1923.

The first conversion was flown in 1919 and another was shown at the Paris Salon in December of that year. Two were sold in the USA and two others were fitted with floats. Two went to Spain and eight to Australia.
