Design and development


The Type 109 was a single-engine two-seat conventional biplane built in 1928 for an attempt on the world distance record.[1] The Type 109, registered G-EBZK and powered by a 480 hp (360 kW) Bristol Jupiter VIII radial engine, was first flown on 7 September 1928.[1] The record attempt was abandoned and the aircraft was then modified to be used by Bert Hinkler for a world flight.[1] The world flight was also abandoned and the aircraft was used by Bristol as an engine test bed for the Jupiter XIF engine.[1] The Type 109 was scrapped in 1931, never having flown beyond the UK.[1][2]
