| Of similar construction to the F.E.3, the F.E.6 was built
in 1914 and was powered by a 120hp Austro-Daimler
six-cylinder water-cooled engine. Standard R.E.5 components
were used for the wings, which were of equispan,
and the tail unit was carried on a cantilever boom,
without bracing wires. The F.E.6 was flown at Farnborough
on 14 November 1914 but this may have been its
only flight, and, if fitted, the COW gun that it was designed
to carry was not fired.

| sven, 01.11.2014 21:55 I can confirm that the picture is of a Zepplin interceptor.
One of about 12 or so built by Bristol. reply | | Mike, e-mail, 31.10.2014 11:24 I suspect the picture is incorrect reply | | Terrence I. Murphy, e-mail, 02.06.2012 17:32 That sure looks like the tractor type, RAF S.E.2 to me.
I thought that the F.E 2, F.E.8 & F.E.6 were all pushers? reply | | malu, 20.06.2011 14:01 gastank and a Lewis gun capable of firing upwards into Zeppelins. Used for Home Defense, 1916. reply | |
| | Leo Rudnicki, e-mail, 28.05.2009 20:59 The photo appears to be the BE2C "Intercepter" with observer's cockpit filled with a gastank and a Lewis gun capable of firing upwards into Zeppelins. Used for Home Defense, 1916. reply | | Jim, e-mail, 28.05.2009 20:07 Either the picture or the 3V is wrong. I believe the picture is wrong reply |
