It was a possible model 17 with a 300 Hp Hispano-Suiza engine. Other 2 models were exported to Spain c. 1924 and Mexico c. 1928. Ref Bristol Aerospace since 1910. by G. Green.

Good day!!
Nice pictures. Tks!
This particular aircraft was bought for $7000 green ones according to records.The U.K company name was Aircraft Disposal Company who maintained a sales office in New York City.c. 1921.
Would love to know how the Bristol factory shipped this aircraft overseas. How were the disassembled parts were placed in containers or container. Perhaps some records of purchase still exist is some archives in England.
Tks in advance
