Bristol F.2 Fighter
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War flown by the Royal Flying Corps. It is often simply called the Bristol Fighter or popularly the "Brisfit" or "Biff". Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved to be an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against opposing single-seat fighters. Having overcome a disastrous start to its career, the F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s, and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation.
Design and development
The Bristol fighter's basic design stemmed from design studies by Frank Barnwell in March 1916 for an aircraft intended, like the R.E.8 and the F.K.8, as possible replacements for the B.E.2c – the Type 9 R.2A with the 160 hp Beardmore engine and the R.2B, powered by the 150 hp Hispano Suiza. Neither type was built, as the new 190 hp (142 kW) Rolls-Royce Falcon inline engine became available, and Barnwell designed a new aircraft around the Rolls-Royce engine. This, the Type 12 F.2A was a more compact design, intended from the outset as a replacement for the F.E.2d and Sopwith 1½ Strutter two-seat fighters: it first flew on 9 September 1916. The F.2A was armed in what had by then become the standard manner for a British two-seater: one synchronised fixed, forward-firing .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine gun, and one flexible .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis Gun mounted on a Scarff ring in the observer's rear cockpit. This remained the standard armament.

Bristol (1866)
Bristol was a large sidewheel steamer launched in 1866 by William H. Webb of New York for the Merchants Steamship Company. One of Narragansett Bay's so-called "floating palaces", the luxuriously outfitted Bristol and her sister ship Providence, each of which could carry up to 1,200 passengers, were installed with the largest engines then built in the United States, and were considered to be amongst the finest American-built vessels of their era.
Both ships would spend their entire careers steaming between New York and various destinations in and around Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Bristol was eventually destroyed by a fire while in port in 1888.
Development
Bristol and Providence owed their existence to a short-lived company known as the Merchants Steamship Company, which placed the initial order for the vessels with the Webb shipyard in about 1865. Merchants Steamship was an amalgamation of three existing Narragansett Bay shipping lines, the Commercial Line, Neptune Line and Stonington Line. The Company intended to run the two steamers between New York and Bristol, Rhode Island in competition with the Fall River Line, which ran a similar service from New York to Fall River, Massachusetts (both Lines then linking up to railway lines that continued on to Boston).

Bristol is a borough in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 23 miles (37 km) northeast of Center City Philadelphia, opposite Burlington, New Jersey on the Delaware River. Bristol was first incorporated in 1720. Although its charter was revised in 1905, the original charter remains in effect, making Bristol one of the older boroughs in Pennsylvania. 7,104 people lived in Bristol in 1900; 9,256 in 1910; 10,273 in 1920; and 11,895 in 1940.

History
Bristol was first settled in 1681 as Buckingham (for Buckingham, England). It was originally used as a port and dock. Bristol is rich in history, boasting many historic and restored houses that line the streets of Radcliffe and Mill.
Until 1725 Bristol served as county seat of Bucks County.
From its earliest days Bristol was a center of milling. With the building of the Delaware Canal and the Pennsylvania Railroad it became a center of transportation and an attractive location for industry.

Bristol F.2B 'Brisfit' Fighter - 208 Squadron, Royal Air Force 1920-1930
This Bristol F.2B Mk.III Fighter (Serial number 7575) was built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company Ltd at Filton, Bristol in 1918 and delivered to the Royal Air Force after the end of World War 1. The aircraft were nicknamed either the 'Brisket' or the 'Biff' by their crews. It served with 208 Squadron at RAF Ismailia in Egypt, where the squadron was based and also at San Stefano, Istanbul, Turkey where the squadron was deployed during1922-23 as a result of the Chanak Crisis. It remained with the squadron until 1930. Its remains were acquired in November 1936 by Captain C. P. B. Ogilvie who intended to restore it to flying condition on the civil register, but failed to complete the project. Instead, the Bristol Aeroplane Company restored the aeroplane and it flew again in 1952, having bee...

Bristol F.2 Fighter Flying display at Omaka 2013
The Bristol F.2 Fighter manufactured by British and Colonial Aeroplane Company is a British two-seater biplane fighter aircraft used for reconnaissance missions during World War I. The Bristol F.2 Fighter also known as the Bristol Fighter was nicknamed Brisfit or Biff. The Bristol F.2 was designed with a distinctive single forward firing machine gun controlled by the pilot and a single Lewis machine gun in an open turret mounting behind the pilot manned by the observer proving to be a much more deadly and versatile machine than expected. The maiden flight of the Bristol F.2 Fighter took place on the 9th of September 1916. Primary users were the Royal Flying Corps and the Polish Air Force. There were approx. 5,329 Bristol F.2 Fighter produced. The Bristol F.2 Fighter retired from service i...

Bristol F2.B Fighter
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft and was without doubt one of the most important and successful British designs to serve during the First World War. In 1915 the Royal Flying Corps had identified a need to replace their Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c's with an emphasis on self-defence capabilities. Designed by a team led by Frank Barnwell (who had experience as a frontline RFC pilot), the prototype Bristol Type 12 F.2A (C3303) was first flown on 9th September 1916 at Filton, fitted with a newly available 190 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon I inline engine. Bristol had already received an order for 50 aircraft by the time the second prototype flew on 25th October 1916, this time fitted with a Hispano-Suiza power unit. The type was a twin-bay bipl...

The F.2b remained in production until 1926 and was used by the RAF in peacetime as an army co-operation aircraft and also used by University Air Squadrons as a training aircraft. D8096 was built in 1918, but was too late to see service during the First World War. It was used by No. 208 Squadron in Turkey in 1923. It was acquired in 1936 by Captain C.P.B. Ogilvie who stored it, along with many other aircraft, in Watford. It was registered at this time on the civil register as G-AEPH, but was not flown before WW2 as a civil aircraft. D8096 was acquired by the Shuttleworth Collection and restored by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, flying again in February 1952. It starred at many air displays across the country and after twenty-eight years of flying, it was refurbished during 1980-82. D8096 still flies regularly and is one of only two Bristol Fighters that are airworthy in the world, although a third is being restored to airworthiness at Old Warden. Height: 9ft 6in Length: 26ft 2in Wingspan: 39ft 3in Engine: one 275hp Rolls-Royce Falcon III, V12 Max Speed: 132mph Armament: one synchronised forward firing Vickers machine gun one Lewis gun mounted on a scarff ring in the rear cockpit.

The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two- seater aircraft. More commonly referred to as the Brisfit or simply The Bristol Fighter. This aircraft built up quite the reputation for itself and was one extraordinary aircraft.e goal was to create a replacement for the now outdated BE2 reconnaissance aircraft.On top of this the new aircraft would need to be able to conduct fighter patrols Design of the airframe started in March 1916. By march 8 1917 the first bristol fighters started to arrive in france with number 48 squadron. The first offensive patrol was flown on April 5, 1917. The results were disastrous. Six bristol fighters took to the skies and arrived over the town of douai. Here they were attacked by a flight olf Five albatros D.III’s lead by Manfred Von Richtofen who proceeded to shoot down two of the Bristol Fighters securing his 35th and 36th victories. Two other of the bristols were shot down by Richtofen's colleagues. The root of this failure was due to old tactics used by the bristol Pilots. Flying in close formation with a defensive mindset. LAter on this changed and the bristol became a wonderful fighting machine. The
Bristol F2B packed quite a punch with one 303 forward firing vickers gun mounted in the upper fuselage and generally one to two lewis guns in the rear turret. This provided quite a bit of protection from all angles. The Powerplant changed throughout the conflict. These consisted of the Rolls Royce Falcon I, II, and III engines. Around 150 F2b’s were manufactured with thje Falcon I and II. AAfter this batch the powerpland was switched to the Falcon III. This engine could reach a maximum speed of around 123kph (198 mph). Along with being an excellent fighter aircraft was used in numerous other rolls. From Reconnaissance with it’s camera and wireless Gear to becoming an excellent ground attacker. It could carry a maximum payload of 450 pounds of ordnance. Some Bristols were even equipped with a negative lense bombsight. Overall the Bristol F2B became one of the best (if not the best) Two Seater of the great war. It continued to serve with various countries after the conflict.The Aircraft evern remained in production after thew war resulting in a total of around 5300 Bristol Fighters Built. The F2B remained in service with the RAF until 1932. If anything is a testament to this aircrafts capabilities that would be it.

The Bristol Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of World War I flown by the Royal Flying Corps. Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against single-seat scouts. Having overcome a disastrous start to its career, the F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation.

This Bristol F.2B Mk.III Fighter (Serial number 7575) was built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company Ltd at Filton, Bristol in 1918 and delivered to the Royal Air Force after the end of World War 1. The aircraft were nicknamed either the 'Brisket' or the 'Biff' by their crews.
It served with 208 Squadron at RAF Ismailia in Egypt, where the squadron was based and also at San Stefano, Istanbul, Turkey where the squadron was deployed during1922-23 as a result of the Chanak Crisis. It remained with the squadron until 1930.
Its remains were acquired in November 1936 by Captain C. P. B. Ogilvie who intended to restore it to flying condition on the civil register, but failed to complete the project.
Instead, the Bristol Aeroplane Company restored the aeroplane and it flew again in 1952, having been entrusted to the care of the Shuttleworth Collection. After twenty-eight years with the Shuttleworth Collection, the engine and airframe underwent a complete refurbishment during 1980-82. In 1992 the engine (the oldest working Rolls-Royce aero engine in the world) was replaced by an overhauled Rolls-Royce Falcon 3 unit. The original was rebuilt and is kept as a fully working spare.
This Bristol Fighter, D8096, G-AEPH is the only airworthy original example in Europe.
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft and was without doubt one of the most important and successful British designs to serve during the First World War.
In 1915 the Royal Flying Corps had identified a need to replace their Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c's with an emphasis on self-defence capabilities.
Designed by a team led by Frank Barnwell (who had experience as a frontline RFC pilot), the prototype Bristol Type 12 F.2A (C3303) was first flown on 9th September 1916 at Filton, fitted with a newly available 190 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon I inline engine. Bristol had already received an order for 50 aircraft by the time the second prototype flew on 25th October 1916, this time fitted with a Hispano-Suiza power unit.
The type was a twin-bay biplane, with the fuselage suspended mid-way between the wings in a similar manner to the earlier Gordon England biplanes. The pilot was seated forward, the observer / gunner being equipped with a Scarff-mounted machine gun in the rear cockpit. A forward-firing Vickers gun was mounted on the fuselage centreline. The type was ordered into service with 2 prototypes and 50 production F.2A being built before construction was switched to the Type 14 F.2B, the aircraft which became the definitive Bristol Fighter.
When production was switched to the F.2B it became the subject of 'contract manufacture' across the aircraft industry with the first 150 or so fitted with either the Falcon I or Falcon II engine. The remainder received the Falcon III engine which meant they could achieve a top speed of around 123 mph and could reach 10,000 feet about 3 minutes faster.
The F.2B featured a fully covered lower wing centre-section and downward sloped longerons in front of the cockpit, to improve the pilot’s view when landing and despite being a two-seater it was an agile dog-fighter, which had superiority over many of its single-seater opposition.
At some points engine supply was outpaced by airframe production and some 5,300 Bristol F.2B were built in Britain, with an additional 68 in the USA. Rolls-Royce power plants of all types were utilised to offset the shortages. The Type 15's produced by sub-contractors received the Sunbeam Arab piston engine which relegated them to simple reconnaissance missions whilst the Type 16 was fitted with the Hispano-Suiza engine which once again failed to match the power of the Falcons. There was a proposed Type 22 fitted with a radial or rotary engine but this never came to fruition and the type number was later re-allocated to the Bristol F.2C Badger.
The Bristol M.R.1, often referred to as the 'All-metal F.2B' was in fact a completely new design although it shared similar fuselage characteristics. Only 2 prototypes were built but it never entered production.
In peacetime, the Bristol Fighter was used as an Army Cooperation machine, particularly in India and Iraq.
A structurally strengthened version the Bristol Type 96 was designated the Bristol Fighter Mk III. These aircraft were later converted in service to the Bristol Fighter Mk IV with increased weight (max 3,350 lb), taller fin, Handley Page slots and aerodynamically-balanced rudder.
There are 3 remaining airworthy aircraft with a number on static display, predominantly in museums around the UK and Europe. A replica aircraft was created at Filton to celebrate 100 years of aircraft manufacturing in Bristol, where the original Bristol Fighter was designed and built.

The Bristol F.2 Fighter manufactured by British and Colonial Aeroplane Company is a British two-seater biplane fighter aircraft used for reconnaissance missions during World War I. The Bristol F.2 Fighter also known as the Bristol Fighter was nicknamed Brisfit or Biff. The Bristol F.2 was designed with a distinctive single forward firing machine gun controlled by the pilot and a single Lewis machine gun in an open turret mounting behind the pilot manned by the observer proving to be a much more deadly and versatile machine than expected. The maiden flight of the Bristol F.2 Fighter took place on the 9th of September 1916. Primary users were the Royal Flying Corps and the Polish Air Force. There were approx. 5,329 Bristol F.2 Fighter produced. The Bristol F.2 Fighter retired from service in 1930s. Cost per unit was approx. £1,350 (1918).

The British and Colonial Aeroplane Company designed many aeroplanes after the Boxkite of 1910, so by 1916 had a wealth of experience available for building a two-seat fighter aircraft. Bristol (as the company became known) designed a large, rugged two-seater and named it the F.2a. This aircraft was originally not successful due to pilots flying the aircraft as a conventional two-seat aircraft i.e. straight and level at all times. Bristol created an improved version called the F.2b and it entered service in March 1917. The pilots soon learnt that the 'Brisfit' could be thrown around the sky and it was responsible for many kills during WW1. The F.2b remained in production until 1926 and was used by the RAF in peacetime as an army co-operation aircraft and also used by University Air Squadrons as a training aircraft. D8096 was built in 1918, but was too late to see service during the First World War. It was used by No. 208 Squadron in Turkey in 1923. It was acquired in 1936 by Captain C.P.B. Ogilvie who stored it, along with many other aircraft, in Watford. It was registered at this time on the civil register as G-AEPH, but was not flown before WW2 as a civil aircraft. D8096 was acquired by the Shuttleworth Collection and restored by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, flying again in February 1952. It starred at many air displays across the country and after twenty-eight years of flying, it was refurbished during 1980-82. D8096 still flies regularly and is one of only two Bristol Fighters that are airworthy in the world, although a third is being restored to airworthiness at Old Warden. Height: 9ft 6in Length: 26ft 2in Wingspan: 39ft 3in Engine: one 275hp Rolls-Royce Falcon III, V12 Max Speed: 132mph Armament: one synchronised forward firing Vickers machine gun one Lewis gun mounted on a scarff ring in the rear cockpit.

The Bristol Fighter.
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two- seater aircraft. More commonly referred to as the Brisfit or simply The Bristol Fighter. This aircraft built up quite the reputation for itself and was one extraordinary aircraft.e goal was to create a replacement for the now outdated BE2 reconnaissance aircraft.On top of this the new aircraft would need to be able to conduct fighter patrols Design of the airframe started in March 1916. By march 8 1917 the first bristol fighters started to arrive in france with number 48 squadron. The first offensive patrol was flown on April 5, 1917. The results were disastrous. Six bristol fighters took to the skies and arrived over the town of douai. Here they were attacked by a flight olf Five albatros D.III’s lead by Manfred Von Richtofen who proceeded to shoot down two of the Bristol Fighters securing his 35th and 36th victories. Two other of the bristols were shot down by Richtofen's colleagues. The root of this failure was due to old tactics used by the bristol Pilots. Flying in close formation with a defensive mindset. LAter on this changed and the bristol became a wonderful fighting machine. The
Bristol F2B packed quite a punch with one 303 forward firing vickers gun mounted in the upper fuselage and generally one to two lewis guns in the rear turret. This provided quite a bit of protection from all angles. The Powerplant changed throughout the conflict. These consisted of the Rolls Royce Falcon I, II, and III engines. Around 150 F2b’s were manufactured with thje Falcon I and II. AAfter this batch the powerpland was switched to the Falcon III. This engine could reach a maximum speed of around 123kph (198 mph). Along with being an excellent fighter aircraft was used in numerous other rolls. From Reconnaissance with it’s camera and wireless Gear to becoming an excellent ground attacker. It could carry a maximum payload of 450 pounds of ordnance. Some Bristols were even equipped with a negative lense bombsight. Overall the Bristol F2B became one of the best (if not the best) Two Seater of the great war. It continued to serve with various countries after the conflict.The Aircraft evern remained in production after thew war resulting in a total of around 5300 Bristol Fighters Built. The F2B remained in service with the RAF until 1932. If anything is a testament to this aircrafts capabilities that would be it.

The aircraft (now resident in Australia) was one of the original World War One aircraft that helped start the resurgence of interest in Great War aviation in New Zealand i the first part of the 21st Century. The aircraft is seen here flying in New Zealand prior to the second Classic Fighters airshow in 2003.

The Bristol Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of World War I flown by the Royal Flying Corps. Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against single-seat scouts. Having overcome a disastrous start to its career, the F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation.

Le dessin de base du Bristol fighter provient des études de Frank Barnwell en mars 1916. L'avion fut pensé comme l'avion de reconnaissance devant remplacer le Royal Aircraft Factory BE2c. Avion maniable, très robuste, équipé d'un moteur puissant et d'un armement puissant pour l'époque, il s'avéra être un excellent avion de reconnaissance pouvant se défendre valablement face aux chasseurs ennemis.

This Bristol F.2B Mk.III Fighter (Serial number 7575) was built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company Ltd at Filton, Bristol in 1918 and delivered to the Royal Air Force after the end of World War 1. The aircraft were nicknamed either the 'Brisket' or the 'Biff' by their crews.
It served with 208 Squadron at RAF Ismailia in Egypt, where the squadron was based and also at San Stefano, Istanbul, Turkey where the squadron was deployed during1922-23 as a result of the Chanak Crisis. It remained with the squadron until 1930.
Its remains were acquired in November 1936 by Captain C. P. B. Ogilvie who intended to restore it to flying condition on the civil register, but failed to complete the project.
Instead, the Bristol Aeroplane Company restored the aeroplane and it flew again in 1952, having been entrusted to the care of the Shuttleworth Collection. After twenty-eight years with the Shuttleworth Collection, the engine and airframe underwent a complete refurbishment during 1980-82. In 1992 the engine (the oldest working Rolls-Royce aero engine in the world) was replaced by an overhauled Rolls-Royce Falcon 3 unit. The original was rebuilt and is kept as a fully working spare.
This Bristol Fighter, D8096, G-AEPH is the only airworthy original example in Europe.
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft and was without doubt one of the most important and successful British designs to serve during the First World War.
In 1915 the Royal Flying Corps had identified a need to replace their Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c's with an emphasis on self-defence capabilities.
Designed by a team led by Frank Barnwell (who had experience as a frontline RFC pilot), the prototype Bristol Type 12 F.2A (C3303) was first flown on 9th September 1916 at Filton, fitted with a newly available 190 hp Rolls-Royce Falcon I inline engine. Bristol had already received an order for 50 aircraft by the time the second prototype flew on 25th October 1916, this time fitted with a Hispano-Suiza power unit.
The type was a twin-bay biplane, with the fuselage suspended mid-way between the wings in a similar manner to the earlier Gordon England biplanes. The pilot was seated forward, the observer / gunner being equipped with a Scarff-mounted machine gun in the rear cockpit. A forward-firing Vickers gun was mounted on the fuselage centreline. The type was ordered into service with 2 prototypes and 50 production F.2A being built before construction was switched to the Type 14 F.2B, the aircraft which became the definitive Bristol Fighter.
When production was switched to the F.2B it became the subject of 'contract manufacture' across the aircraft industry with the first 150 or so fitted with either the Falcon I or Falcon II engine. The remainder received the Falcon III engine which meant they could achieve a top speed of around 123 mph and could reach 10,000 feet about 3 minutes faster.
The F.2B featured a fully covered lower wing centre-section and downward sloped longerons in front of the cockpit, to improve the pilot’s view when landing and despite being a two-seater it was an agile dog-fighter, which had superiority over many of its single-seater opposition.
At some points engine supply was outpaced by airframe production and some 5,300 Bristol F.2B were built in Britain, with an additional 68 in the USA. Rolls-Royce power plants of all types were utilised to offset the shortages. The Type 15's produced by sub-contractors received the Sunbeam Arab piston engine which relegated them to simple reconnaissance missions whilst the Type 16 was fitted with the Hispano-Suiza engine which once again failed to match the power of the Falcons. There was a proposed Type 22 fitted with a radial or rotary engine but this never came to fruition and the type number was later re-allocated to the Bristol F.2C Badger.
The Bristol M.R.1, often referred to as the 'All-metal F.2B' was in fact a completely new design although it shared similar fuselage characteristics. Only 2 prototypes were built but it never entered production.
In peacetime, the Bristol Fighter was used as an Army Cooperation machine, particularly in India and Iraq.
A structurally strengthened version the Bristol Type 96 was designated the Bristol Fighter Mk III. These aircraft were later converted in service to the Bristol Fighter Mk IV with increased weight (max 3,350 lb), taller fin, Handley Page slots and aerodynamically-balanced rudder.
There are 3 remaining airworthy aircraft with a number on static display, predominantly in museums around the UK and Europe. A replica aircraft was created at Filton to celebrate 100 years of aircraft manufacturing in Bristol, where the original Bristol Fighter was designed and built.

The Bristol F.2 Fighter manufactured by British and Colonial Aeroplane Company is a British two-seater biplane fighter aircraft used for reconnaissance missions during World War I. The Bristol F.2 Fighter also known as the Bristol Fighter was nicknamed Brisfit or Biff. The Bristol F.2 was designed with a distinctive single forward firing machine gun controlled by the pilot and a single Lewis machine gun in an open turret mounting behind the pilot manned by the observer proving to be a much more deadly and versatile machine than expected. The maiden flight of the Bristol F.2 Fighter took place on the 9th of September 1916. Primary users were the Royal Flying Corps and the Polish Air Force. There were approx. 5,329 Bristol F.2 Fighter produced. The Bristol F.2 Fighter retired from service in 1930s. Cost per unit was approx. £1,350 (1918).

Today there are 3 remaining airworthy aircraft with a number on static display, predominantly in museums around the UK and Europe. A replica aircraft was created at Filton to celebrate 100 years of aircraft manufacturing in Bristol, where the original Bristol Fighter was designed and built.
The aircraft here is owned and operated by the Shuttleworth Collection, based at their airfield at Old Warden. It was built in 1918 and saw no operational wartime service. It served with No 208 Squadron based in Turkey in 1923.

Bristol F.2 Fighter
The Bristol F.2 Fighter was a British two-seat biplane fighter and reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War flown by the Royal Flying Corps. It is often simply called the Bristol Fighter or popularly the "Brisfit" or "Biff". Despite being a two-seater, the F.2B proved to be an agile aircraft that was able to hold its own against opposing single-seat fighters. Having overcome a disastrous start to its career, the F.2B's solid design ensured that it remained in military service into the 1930s, and surplus aircraft were popular in civil aviation.
Design and development
The Bristol fighter's basic design stemmed from design studies by Frank Barnwell in March 1916 for an aircraft intended, like the R.E.8 and the F.K.8, as possible replacements for the B.E.2c – the Type 9 R.2A with the 160 hp Beardmore engine and the R.2B, powered by the 150 hp Hispano Suiza. Neither type was built, as the new 190 hp (142 kW) Rolls-Royce Falcon inline engine became available, and Barnwell designed a new aircraft around the Rolls-Royce engine. This, the Type 12 F.2A was a more compact design, intended from the outset as a replacement for the F.E.2d and Sopwith 1½ Strutter two-seat fighters: it first flew on 9 September 1916. The F.2A was armed in what had by then become the standard manner for a British two-seater: one synchronised fixed, forward-firing .303 in (7.7 mm) Vickers machine gun, and one flexible .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis Gun mounted on a Scarff ring in the observer's rear cockpit. This remained the standard armament.
