Регистрационный номер: N38 [2] Another Beard more design was the more-utilitarian WB.IV fleet fighter-reconnaissance aircraft. Designed for operating from turret platforms and carriers, it was built with a boat-type hull that would stand up to the inevitable ditching and had fitted pick-up cable anchorages for hoisting inboard. The pilot sat ahead of the wings with the engine behind him. N38 was tested in the summer of 1918 but the war had ended before any decision on production was taken.

Регистрационный номер: N38 [2] The Beardmore W.B.IV was an attempt to provide a ship-based aircraft that could be flown off and recovered. Designed in 1915, it anticipated later practice in placing the engine behind the pilot and driving the propeller via a shaft between the pilot's legs (as in the Westland F.7/30 and the Airacobra).
