High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bristol Mercury is a nine-cylinder air-cooled single-row piston radial engine. The Mercury was used mainly on British military aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s. A number were also built in Europe under licence. At least one Bristol Mercury remains airworthy in 2009.

Although the Mercury initially failed to attract much interest, the Air Ministry eventually funded three prototypes and it became another winner for the designer Roy Fedden.
