Barry, 17.06.2016 13:36 This was not a fighter, but a bomber. After it's first flight in 1917 this Tilghman Richards designed plane crashed at Cranwell whilst under going trials, and this is when on repair the Beardmore engine was replaced with the Sunbeam unit. It was not suited to ship board use as it had no capacity to fold it's wings and with the coming of the Handley Page 0 /100 there was no future in this particular plane. reply |
