This aircraft has frequently been criticized in retrospect for a lack of maneuverability. However, what those critics fail to consider is that this airplane was designed before World War I began, and at the one of the principal considerations of it's design was positive stability. In that sense the designers succeeded, because the B.E.2c was certainly was a stable airplane.

My father flew these as a pilot in the RFC & RAF in WW1

B.E.2c's were also used for a number of armament experiments.

Have in possession clock set into propeller boss with wording on the outer rim of the boss B.E.2.C. 100 hp RAF T5291 LONDON. Is this of significant interest?
