Contained in the climate-controlled chamber is this Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e, No 131, one of 10 delivered to the Norwegian Army Air Force in 1917. This example was fully restored in 1977 and has been at Gardermoen ever since.

A Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e takes off. Usually powered by the 90 h.p. RAF la, the B.E.2e was a single-bay development of the B.E.2c and d reconnaissance biplanes, distinguished by the large overhang of the upper wing extensions. Also introduced on the B.E.2e was the larger fin with a rounded leading edge, subsequently adopted as standard on all B.E. variants. More B.E.2es were built than any other B.E. type, but its performance was not much better than the earlier machines, and the observer was still positioned in the front cockpit. The type entered RFC service in mid-1916.

After the Armistice 11 surplus B.E.2Es were converted for civil use and registered in the UK. One was G-EANW, ex C7185, seen here at Stag Lane in June 1926. Unlike all the other civil conversions, powered by 90 h.p. R.A.F.1A engines, 'NW was fitted with an 80 h.p. Renault. It was initially registered to Count Zborowski at Brooklands in 1920.

A Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e is also visible on the threshold of the Bessonneau tent hangar. The white circles in the foreground delineate a compass base for swinging the compasses of the aircraft.

The sole example of the Sopwith F.1/1 taperwing Camel, tested at Martlesham Heath in May 1917. Powered by a 130 h.p. Clerget rotary, its wings tapered from 5ft chord at the centre section to 3ft 6in at the tips, and wide, plank-like interplane struts were fitted. Its performance proved no better than that of the standard Camel, and as the wing would have been more complicated to build it is no surprise that the type was abandoned. A B.E.2e is in the background.

A5140, the second of four Bristol M.1Bs built, at Filton in December 1916. Although allotted to the RFC in France in February 1917, it never went there, joining 111 Sqn in Palestine instead. In the background of this picture is what appears to be a B.E.2d fitted with B.E.2e-style unequal-span wings.

View of a Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2E after turning turtle at Kinson. A mechanic has precariously scaled the fuselage, and is in the throes of attaching a line to the tail skid struts to enable the aeroplane to be righted. Once again, curious markings, believed to denote a training squadron, are in evidence. This time they take the form of crosses, a white one on the rudder, and a pair of dark ones beneath the lower mainplanes, though why these should be of odd sizes is unknown.

Bristol-built Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e 7124 crashed and overturned at Lilbourne, just north-east of Rugby, during a training flight. Edens' original caption refers to the event as “Bob Langley's crash", but no date is given. The unit is not known either, although four RFC squadrons, Nos 34, 55, 73 and 84, would have been based at Lilbourne during Edens' time there in mid-1916 to summer 1917.

Another view of Langley's overturned B.E.2e, 7124. The aircraft had clearly undergone repairs at some time before this accident - note the clear-doped fabric on the outer five rib bays of the starboard upper wing, and a similar patch apparently newly-doped in dark-brown P.C.10 on the port upper.

Unlucky for some - Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2e B3983 was built from spares at Montrose and was allotted to No 52 TS. On September 13, 1917, however, while 2nd Lt R. Jardine was making his second B.E.2e flight in it, he climbed too steeply and stalled, losing his life in the resulting crash and writing off the aircraft. Airco D.H.4s are just about visible in the distance on the right.

This B.E.2e seen the morning after the night N. K. Johnson hit a house at Hounslow in 1917. The pilot, who later became Sir Nelson K. Johnson, KBE, Head of the Meteorological Office, thought that he had about 100ft to spare!

This tangled mass of wreckage appears to be a close-up of Jardine’s B.E.2e, B3983, from the other side. It certainly appears to have an in-line vee engine, and the B.E.2e had a 90 h.p. RAF 1a. Various items of cockpit instrumentation are discernible in the foreground.
