Early B.E. 2s saw service with the Royal Flying Corps from 1912 onwards. The B.E.2c operated in France, mainly for reconnaissance and military observation, although some were single-seat bombers. Single-seat B.E.2c night fighters downed six dirigibles over Britain. Withdrawn from action in 1917, many continued as trainers until the war's end. In all, 3 260 B.E. 2s were built.
A B.E.2 became the first British aircraft to fly across the Channel and land in France after the outbreak of World War I. All models of the B.E. 2 had such great stability that they could nearly fly themselves during reconnaissance and artillery observation missions. While an easy target in the air over France, the B.E.2c's stability contributed to its success as a single-seat home-defence fighter against German airships in night raids over England.
