Čaj Bristol Type 192 Belvedere je britanski dvomotorni, tandem rotor vojni helikopter koji je izgradila aeroplanska kompanija Bristol. Dizajnirao ga je Raul Hafner za razne transportne uloge, uključujući transport trupa, pad snabdevanja i evakuaciju žrtava. Njime je upravljalo Kraljevsko vazduhoplovstvo (RAF) od 1961. Belvedere je bio jedini britanski tandem rotor helikopter koji je ušao u proizvodnju, i jedan od retkih koje nisu izgradili Pjasecki ili Boing.
