  1. The Bristol Type 123 was a biplane fighter designed to Air Ministry specification F.7/30. It called for a four-gun fighter with the preference that it was powered by the evaporatively-cooled Rolls-Royce Goshawk. Testing revealed serious lateral instability, which re-designs failed to reduce Further development was abandoned and F7/30 was won by the Gloster Gladiator destinationsjourney.com/histor #aeroplane #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #biplane #Bristol123 #BristolType123 #fighter #RAF #RoyalAirForce

    #Yesterday we had a day in the #unvirtualised #Gaia. Went as near as #possible to the #highest point in Greta Londinium (Greater London, as it is currently known). Near #Biggin #Hill in #Bromley. Visited Keston #Common to find the #source of the #Ravensbourne #river. A #legendary #spring discovered by #Pagan Emperor, Julius #Caesar. 🪶

    Saw an old
    #windmill, a pair of #raptors (probably #buzzards), #koi carp, #artist painting, #biplane ... Also briefly visited High #Elms #Country #Park, with its rich #history. ✔️

    We went by

  11. Curtiss Model D Pusher, 1912 (replica). Glenn Curtiss was engaged, sometimes in a legal sense, in a fight with the Wright Brothers for dominance in the world of early aviation - Curtiss machines had ailerons, rather than the Wright-designed wing warping, for roll control. Although the Model D suffered, as did most of the early pusher designs, from higher drag due to the wide-spaced rear fuselage frame members, it was still a useful machine, performing both the first take-off from a vessel (Nov. 1910) and the first landing (Jan. 1911). This replica is of a 'headless pusher', so called by Curtiss because the earlier forward mounted canard control surfaces were omitted in this model #earlyaviation #biplane #GlennCurtiss #Curtiss #aeroplane #pusher #aircraft #navalaviation #USA #WrightBrothers #avgeek #aviationlovers #CurtissModelD #museum #replica

  12. DH 82a Tiger Moth. De Havilland's built two aircraft that they named the Tiger Moth! One was a single seat research monoplane, the DH 71 (of 1927) and the other was the World renowned DH82 , the one everyone thinks of when you say Tiger Moth. Here is a fine example of the latter, seen at the former RAF Keevil in Wiltshire. It became one of the RAF's stalwart trainers during WW2, and was built in Canada and Australia, as well. One of the all-time classic biplanes, it has, for film purposes, been rebuilt to resemble aircraft from both sides in WW1 ! #DeHavilland #DH71 #DH82 #TigerMoth #avgeek #aviation #flying #biplane #WW2 #RAF #RoyalAirForce #Canada #Australia #trainer #aviationphotography #photography #RAFKeevil #Wiltshire #UK
