	Shane Weier's Scratchbuilt Bristol F2b
		Bristol Fighter, A Windsock Datafile Special Volume 2, J.M.Bruce; Albatros Publications Ltd.
		Von Richthofen never held the Bristol Fighter in much regard, but when it was flown aggressively, as a fighter, with the pilot using his forward firing Vickers gun to attack while his observer protected his back, it became probably the most effective two seater of World War One.
		The Bristol F.2B has a V-12 motor, so aside from the engine block I needed 12 cylinders, 12 sets of valve gear, 24 springs, 2 carburettors, intake and exhaust manifolds, fuel lines, coolant lines, 24 spark plugs, 24 plug wires and so on and so forth.

		Bristol notes, however, that it "has no intention of entering our cars in any competitive events in the foreseeable future", despite the Competition labelling - a shame, because it would be great to see a Fighter competing alongside the Aston Martin DBR9 on the GT and Le Mans Series scene.

	Bristol Fighter F.2B
		This prototype became known as the Bristol Fighter, designated the Bristol F.2, and popularly known as the Brisfit.
		The Bristol F.2 was developed in response to a 1915 Royal Flying Corps specification for a reconnaisance and artillery spotter aircraft that would be capable of defending itself.
		Although the fighter had a very rocky start in combat (in its first mission, 4 out of 6 fighters dispatched were shot down) due to misguided attempts to use the flexible rear gun as the primary armament, the Brisfit came in to its own when the pilots started flying it as a fighter.
