Seen here on display in the Grahame White Factory hangar, the aircraft went to Cosford in July 2014. The orignal A8226, in service with C-Flight, No.45 Squadron, RFC, was shot down near Ypres, Belgium, on 27 May 1917, killing both crew.
The original Scout D A1742, fitted with a Gnome Monosoupape engine, was delivered to the Royal Flying Corps in mid-1916. Prior to coming to Aerospace Bristol in March 2017, the Scout was on display at Old Warden with the Shuttleworth Collection.
No original examples of the Scout are known to have survived. This static replica was built for the 1962 Olympia Royal Tournament. It represents the first aircraft in the last batch of fifty Scout D’s for the Royal Flying Corps (serials A1742 to A1791).
