The Bristol Scout The Bristol Scout first took to the air in February of 1914, and from that time forward this wonderful little plane was to see extensive service with both the RFC and RNAS throughout the First World War. This Scout was delivered to Eastchurch NAS on 20 June 1915, and was still in use at Cranwell on 30 March 1918. Originally thought to be a Scout D, as that was how it was recorded in the tests at Upavon, this Scout actually exhibits all the standard features of a Scout C, namely being the shorter rudder and long ailerons. www.cbrnp.com /profiles/quarter1/scout.htm   (438 words)

PARKER INFORMATION RESOURCES The era within which the Bristol Scout aircraft series existed, from 1914 to 1916, was basically "the dawn of military aviation" in World War I, and many of the earliest attempts to arm British military aircraft with weaponry were attempted with the Bristol Scout series. The first known attempt to arm a Bristol Scout aircraft occurred with the second Scout B, RFC number 648, which was experimentally fitted with two rifles, one per side, as its armament, aimed outwards and forwards to clear the propeller arc. A small number of Bristol Scouts did end up being based in the Middle East (in Egypt, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, and Palestine) in 1916 with the last known Bristol Scout in military service being the former RNAS Scout D No. 8978 in Australia, which was based at Point Cook, near Melbourne, as late as October 1926. www.parkerinfo.com /ap11.htm   (483 words)

Bristol Scout C & D First flown in February 1914, the elegant little Bristol Scout was to serve the RFC in various capacities during the First World War. Flying in Bristol Scout 'C' 1611 which was fitted with a Lewis gun angled out from the center-section at a 45° angle to clear the propellor arc, Hawker attacked three German aircraft and downed one in flames on 25 July 1915, with another being forced to land. One kit was to represent Bristol Scout "C" 1611 flown by Lanoe G Hawker when he won the VC. www.wwi-models.org /IM/British/bristolscout.html   (885 words)

BRISTOL AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES The Bristol Fighter was one of the outstanding military planes of the World War I period. In addition, the work of this period initiated the practice of using Bristol engines with Bristol aircraft even when motors from firms such as Rolls-Royce were available.

Bristol Aeroplane Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bristol was involved in the post war renaissance of British civilian aircraft as inspired by the Brabazon Committee report. At the same time the Bristol Britannia turboprop-powered airliner proved a success and it and Bristol Freighter transport aircraft were produced in quantity during the 1950s. A research aircraft, the Bristol 188, was constructed in the 1950s to test the feasibilty of stainless steel as a material in a Mach 2.0 airframe. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bristol_Aeroplane_Company   (906 words)

BristolScout Although less than 400 Bristol Scouts of all types were produced, in some ways the Bristol machine marked a major advance in airplane design. Once several new Bristol Scouts were built, the war had started and the new machine was immediately pressed into service as a reconnaissance plane. The Bristol Scout was used for racing prior to the war, and was capable of maneuvering with German machines. www.homestead.com /RitterAllied/BristolScout.html   (1244 words)

Art Impact - making an impact with art The aircraft factory at Filton, to the north of Bristol, produced thousands of aircraft, from the 1910 Boxkite to the last Concorde in 1979.

Bristol Aircraft An early contract to build BE2s resulted in over 1000 coming from the Bristol factories and gave the company breathing space in which to develop the Bristol Scout and then the Fighter of which over 5300 were built, some staying in service as late as 1937. The interwar years were as difficult for the company as for most, but it survived by the RAF standardising on the Bristol Fighter, by constantly producing new designs and by acquiring the services of Roy Fedden, who was probably the best aircraft engine designer of the twentieth century. The book finishes with the Concorde crash, and a view of the future with the Airbus A3XX which will be flying as Bristol completes a century in the aviation business. www.crossandcockade.com /reviews/bristol.htm   (438 words)

Gun Mounting on Bristol Scout in Palestine [Archive] - The Aerodrome Forum 28 October 2002, 03:28 PM Another reason why Williams is one of my favourite AFC personalities, this is his comments on the Bristol Scout at Kantara in 1916. “Two or three days after I arrived at Kantara the flight commander [of 14 Sqn RFC] asked me whether i could fly the Bristol Scout and on being told I could he said he would have it cleaned so that I could 'stand by' with it for hostile aircraft warnings. I was not very happy about this as the aircraft had obviously not been flown for some time, appeared to be no ones responsibility and was in a filthy condition, being covered in dust over a coating of caster oil. www.theaerodrome.com /forum/archive/index.php/t-2903.html   (270 words)

Gavia 1/48 Bristol Scout C Preview The Bristol Scout was originally designed in 1914 in response to an Italian Army request for an agile single-seat scout aircraft (this was in the days before air combat, so it really was meant to be a "scout"). 161 Bristol Scout "C" airplanes were manufactured, and flew with both the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Britain's first ace, Captain Lanoe Hawker, flew the Bristol Scout "C" during 1915, during which time he shot down several German two-seaters and was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. modelingmadness.com /reviews/w1/cleaverbristolpreview.htm   (288 words)

Micro Bristol Scout Model Airplane News - Find Articles A biplane was a good choice because of its high maneuverability and compact size. Rather than sketch out a non-scale model, I pored over my aviation books for a suitable subject, and I found one in the Bristol Scout Type D-an old favorite of modelers, probably because of its nice lines, good proportions and simple shapes. I quickly drew up a plan for this semi-scale Bristol Scout D from a 3-view photo in a book. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3819/is_200212/ai_n9151695   (573 words)
