Bristol Type 14 F.2B Mk II Fighter   J6586                                 (c/n 5893)

                              

                                  Incredibly, 5,329 Bristol Fighters were produced during and after the Great War, of which
                                  the most numerous sub variant was the F.2B with the 250 hp Rolls Royce Falcon III twelve
                                  cylinder inline vee air cooled engine up front.   Seen above at Filton in 1921 is the first F.2B
                                  Mk II built. They were used on all battle fronts and many were civilianized after the war into
                                  Bristol Tourers.  A good example of the latter can be seen in my civil selection under Australia
                                  at G-AUCA in the VH-U series.
