1. Title: A Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Co-produced BE2c, 9990: A Pioneering Military Aircraft This photograph showcases the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Co-produced BE2c, with the registration number 9990, a significant aircraft in the early history of military aviation. Manufactured by the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Company, this two-seat biplane was a crucial development in the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) fleet during World War I. The BE2c was a versatile aircraft, designed primarily for reconnaissance missions, but it also served as a trainer and light bomber. Its open-cockpit configuration allowed for excellent visibility, while its pusher propeller design provided enhanced safety for the crew. The BE2c was powered by a 100 horsepower Le Rhône rotary engine, which gave it a top speed of around 75 miles per hour. The BE2c was first introduced in 1914 and quickly became a staple of the RFC fleet. Its durability and reliability made it an essential asset, with over 1,500 units produced between 1914 and 1916. The aircraft's distinctive appearance, with its large wings and robust construction, made it an iconic sight during the war. This photograph captures the BE2c, 9990, in its element, likely during a training exercise or a routine inspection. The aircraft's meticulously maintained finish and pristine condition attest to the dedication and expertise of the RFC ground crew. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the pioneering spirit that drove the development of military aviation during a pivotal time in history. In summary, the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Co-produced BE2c, 9990, is an essential piece of military aviation history. This photograph not only showcases the aircraft's impressive design and functionality but also highlights the crucial role it played in the early days of military aviation.
