HISTORICAL
SIGNIFICANCE
From
WikiPedia: TThe Bristol Scout was a single-seat rotary-engined biplane originally
intended as a civilian racing aircraft. Like other similar fast, light
aircraft of the period it was acquired by the RNAS and
the RFC as a
"scout", or
fast reconnaissance type. It was one of the first single-seaters to be used
as a fighter
aircraft, although it was not possible to fit it with an effective
forward-firing armament until the first British synchronisation
gearsbecame available, by which time the Scout was obsolescent.
Single-seat fighters continued to be called "scouts" in British usage into
the early 1920s.
