To coincide with the arrival and display in the UK of two airworthy reproductions from New Zealand's TVAL in the Summer, we return to this British two-seat classic for our 165th DATAFILE! This heavily-illustrated monograph is written by Paul Hare who has made a special study of Royal Aircraft Factory designs in WWI:for his new monograph he traces the wartime service of the type and also its derivatives,the BE2f and BE2g. Laden with over 65 archive images,scale plans to 1:48 and 1:72 by the late Ian Stair and three new colour profiles from Ronny Bar,this 32 page study includes over 16 colour pages with many close-ups of the new repro's that provide unique reference and detailed coverage for all modellers of these tractable biplanes. Plus detailed colour notes, a wartime pilot's experiences of the type,with detailed appendices, this new DATAFILE is the perfect one-stop documentation!
