Description

Royal Aircraft Factory BE-2C “2635 With Bombs”
No.13 Squadron Royal Flying Corp

No.13 Squadron RFC was formed on the 10th of January 1915, equipped with twelve newly built RAF BE2c aircraft and was dispatched as a Corps reconnaissance unit to France in October 1915. The squadron served at Savy in France during 1916. Later the Squadron was also equipped with RAF BE2d and BE2e versions.

Some of the aircraft were also fitted with racks for carrying 112lb ‘Cooper’ bombs. A Lewis machine gun was fitted for the observer and a second machine gun for the pilot. Ammunition drums were carried in racks mounted on the sides of the fuselage.

This particular aircraft was completely wrecked in a landing incident at the 7 Sq aerodrome on July 17, 1916.

This 1/30 scale model portrays this aircraft kitted out for a bombing run in early 1916.

The figures and accessories are shown for scale comparison purposes only and are not included.
