| Billy R Leon, e-mail, 01.07.2021 21:48 I see that the specifications for this aircraft are for those that had the 6-cylinder Beardmore engine. Due to a shortage of engines there were 12 aircraft that were constructed with this engine. But the vast majority of aircraft constructed were equipped with an RAF 1A 8-cylinder (V-8) engine of 90hp. This aircraft was slightly slower at about 87 mph with a slightly higher service ceiling of 3,700 meters (12,210 feet). reply | | Barry, 17.08.2012 16:27 Dutchman Fritz Koolhoven came to Britain at the same time as his compatriot Anton Fokker in 1914 to work for the British Air Ministry, with the notable difference that he stayed whilst Fokker went off to help the Bosch.
The FK3 was built as replacement for the remarkbly durable but dated BE2c. An easy plane to fly many were used as trainers although at least one squadron used them as bombers as late as 1918, even if this meant loading the plane with 112lb of bombs and leaving the observer at home. reply |
