Although the type was intended initially as a replacement for the pre-war Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c reconnaissance aircraft, the new Rolls-Royce Falcon V12 engine gave it the performance of a fighter.
Despite a disastrous start to its career, the definitive F.2B version proved to be a manoeuvrable aircraft that was able to hold its own against single-seat fighters while its robust design ensured that it remained in military service into the early 1930s. Some war-surplus aircraft were registered for civilian use and versions with passenger cabins were converted.
Bristol Type 188
Bristol 188 XF926 at RAF Museum Cosford. This and a couple of other rarities from the museum's experimental aircraft collection were rolled outside for the 2016 Cosford airshow. This is the second of two 188's built in the late 1950s/early 1960's in response to requirement ER.134T for a testbed to research sustained supersonic flight for the proposed Avro 730 reconnaissance aircraft. The 188 did not achieve it's performance objectives due, to some extent because the Gyron Junior engines used up fuel more quickly that expected, severely limiting the aircraft's supersonic flight endurance. Two 188's were built but the 1st prototype, XF923 sadly did not survive and was scrapped
They are obviously racing.... The Mustang is ahead by a nose....
No wonder. Looks like the props fell off the other two !They are obviously racing.... The Mustang is ahead by a nose....

Look like a Lewis machine gun on top with the trigger obviously in the cockpit. .303 calibre.
