G-EBOW Bristol 101 Fighter Biplane
(c/n 7019)
Originally designed as a two seat fighter
aircraft (with a rear position gunner, a la WW I concepts)
this
machine was later converted to single seat status, as seen in the shot
above. After being exhib-
ited at
the Copenhagen Aeronautical Exhibition in 1927, it was piloted by
Captain Uwins in the 1928
King's Cup Race to a creditable second place. Much of the
experience gained with this machine was
incorporated
into that successful RAF fighter,the Bristol Bulldog.
