Bristol Braemar
First flying on 13 August 1918, the Bristol Braemar was a triplane heavy bomber designed for the Royal Air Force. The first of two prototypes (serial number C4296) was powered by four 230 hp (170 kW) Siddeley Puma engines in inline tandem pairs giving it a top speed of 106 mph (171 kph). The second prototype (Braemar Mk.II serial number C4297)addressed pilots’ concerns over visibility and was powered by four 400 hp (300 kW) Liberty L-12 engines, which gave it an improved speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).
Designed to be able to bomb Berlin, the Braemar had internal stowage for up to six 250 lb (110 kg) bombs. With the end of the First World War, no production orders were placed. A third prototype was ordered as the Pullman, a 14-passenger civil transport.
