Northern Aeroplane Workshops handed Bristol M.1C flying replica “C4918” over to Shuttleworth at the new Skopos motor museum at Batley on April 12, 1997. Eyecatchingly painted in the red-brown PC 12 finish of a 72 Sqn aircraft serving in Mesopotamia in 1918, it should be at Old Warden by mid-season.

The Bristol M.1C Bullet which first flew in 1916 was an aerodynamically clean monoplane and achieved 114kts with only 80kW from its le Rhone rotary engine. However, it succumbed to technical opposition by virtue of the monoplane’s supposed lack of structural integrity. Only 125 were built and relegated to operations in secondary theatres of war.

The little monoplane is a "Bristol," and was flown in several races after the war, winning one of them (Aerial Derby) piloted by the late Larry Carter. The almost totally enclosed rotary engine is an interesting feature.

Seen competing in the 1919 Aerial Derby at Hendon in June 1919 is this partially-converted Bristol M.1C flown by owner Maj Chichester Smith. Formerly C4964, this M.1C was registered G-EAER shortly before the race. Numbered 12 for the Aerial Derby, it developed a problem with its 110 h.p. le Rhone rotary engine and was forced to retire.

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.

MORE BRISTOL M.1Cs. In the July issue of Air Pictorial, J. M. Bruce described the Bristol M.1C and made passing reference to the Gipsy-powered version. Bristol Press Dept.'s Philip Moyes has discovered a photograph of VH-UQI fitted with a hybrid D.H. Gipsy II/III inline. It is believed to be the same airframe (lower) as flown by Major Chichester-Smith in the 1921 Aerial Derby. This M.1C (R.A.F. serial C4964) possessed the non-standard, faired headrest also seen on VH-UQI. The Australian M.1C was purchased in England by Capt. H. Butler, and was used for exhibition flying over several years. After his death the M.1C was stored in a garage roof until purchased by Mr. H. Miller who initially re-engined it with a Gipsy I; winning the 1932 Australian Aerial Derby.

Finely fledged Bristol M.1C Scout C5025 was one of several given garish colour schemes by the Royal Flying Corps’ Schools of Aerial Fighting in the UK, where the type was evidently popular with instructors despite its rejection for use by fighter squadrons on the Western Front. This particular machine, the last M.1C to be built, was with No 3 Fighting School at Bircham Newton. The unit’s Chief Fighting Instructor, Maj H. H. Balfour (the late Lord Balfour of Inchrye), who flew the aircraft, recalled that the scheme was applied by Mr Shepperson, an artist with the satirical magazine Punch, whose son was a flight commander with No 3 FS.

At Cardington, work on the RAF Museum's Bristol M.1C replica is nearing completion, and the fuselage has been repainted by John Wadham with the dramatic red dragon insignia of RFC training school aircraft C4994 circa 1917-18. Originally built by Don Cashmore and flown briefly as "C4912"/G-BLWM 2yr ago, the replica has had its Warner Scarab engine replaced by a 110 h.p. le Rhone rotary from museum stock, and should be on display at Hendon in time for Christmas.

The uncovered frame of the airworthy member of the trio, a Bristol M.1C which commemorates the first aerial crossing of the Andes, in 1918. Fitted with a Warner Scarab radial (seen here) for flying, the aircraft will later be fitted with a replica le Rhone rotary for static display. A Chilean TV company is interested in re-enacting part of the Andes flight for a documentary.
