2007 Bristoli tüüp 192 Belvedere on Briti kahemootoriline tandemrootoriga sõjaväehelikopter, mille on ehitanud Bristol Aeroplane Company. Selle kujundas Raoul Hafner mitmesuguste transpordirollide jaoks, sealhulgas vägede transport, varude kukkumine ja ohvrite evakueerimine. Seda haldasid kuninglikud õhujõud (RAF) aastatel 1961–1969. Belvedere oli Suurbritannia ainus tandemrootorkopter, mis tootmisse jõudis, ja üks väheseid, mida Piasecki või Boeing ei ehitanud.
