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.

Bristol M. 1C C4964 was shipped to Australia where it became the mount of Captain Harry Butler. Painted red, it carried the name Red Devil and was used to give aerobatic displays. After the death of Butler, it was bought by Horrie Miller who installed a Gipsy I engine and rebuilt the fuselage to be flat-sided. It was refused a C of A in 1936 and in 1958 returned to Butler's home town of Minlaton, SA, where it was placed in a museum to his memory. Now rebuilt to original standards, it carries RAF markings and its original serial and is on display in a special exhibition hall at Minlaton.

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.

R.A. White submits a cutting from the September 1933 Popular Flying on H. Miller’s Bristol M.1C Monoplane VH-UQI, which, after fitting a D.H. Gipsy I engine, he entered in the Australian Air Derby for two years, coming first each time but being disqualified on the second for “exceeding the speed estimate”. Mr White wonders what the qualifying speed would have been, and what became of VH-UQI. I can answer the last question - it is preserved at the Captain Harry Butler Memorial at Minlaton, South Australia, in a purpose-built structure opened in 1958 and has been restored with a le Rhone radial engine to its original configuration. Harry Butler had brought two M.1Cs to Australia, one in 1919 and a second later.

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.
