20230903 (260)_B1162_Bristol_F2b_Fighter

The Shuttleworth Trust's Bristol F2B (Bristol Fighter, "Brisfit" or "Biff") displaying during the Bedfordshire Vintage Airshow at Old Warden. This is an original aircraft (D8096) currently showing markings of another serving aircraft from the Royal Flying Corps in WWI. The Biff was a very capable and effective two-seat fighter: heavily armed for the period, fast, manoeuvrable and employed with tactical skill it was able to take care of itself against the German single-seaters of the Great War.
