The above is the best version found of the Bristol Bulldog logo. The colors are green background and yellow rim. The rest is unclear. A photo of the logo from the Hendon/Skysport Bulldog fin would really really be appreciated.
Cheers,

Thank you Ed2 and Bob T for the info you have on the Bulldog logo. With a boat load of research in the last few days, here is what I found. The correct background is BLUE. The is verified by an original vertical fin that was once owned by Guy Black and then went to Tim at Skysport who is lending it to the Bristol museum. This has a blue background. The Data Plan book by Alfred Granger (#2, sheet 4) states “green disc with yellow rim”. So the question that begs asking is…where did Mr. Granger get his information. Reading the amount of detail that Mr. Granger has in this book it is quite obvious that he has spent a lot of time researching the Bulldog. So, were there two colours used?
Now all my T-shirts are wrong. Rats. This item simply adds to the befuddlement of research and what you read may not be so. Ex: Stated in numerous books that the Bulldog had a Clark YH lower wing profile. No, it was always a Bristol Standard 1A profile.
(perhaps one early example had a YH profile but that was not standard).
So back to the drawing board.
Cheers,
