This fighter scout was developed by the Royal Aircraft Factory and was to become a solid weapons platform and at the same time an agile fighter scout. It became very popular with the pilots and was to serve long after the war ended. The construction is quite simple with a girder trussed fuselage, a staggered rakish wing design and a reliable control system.
The armament was normally a fixed, half enclosed Vickers machinegun and an adjustable Lewis machinegun on a Foster wing mount. The latter enabled the pilot to pull down the weapon for dejamming and/or point the machine gun in an upward angle to attack the belly of the opposing aircraft from below.
Powered by a Hispano Suiza or Wolsley Viper it had very good speed and climbing performance.
Our model is painted as the aircraft in the Shuttleworth collection. |
