Bristol Gordon England biplanes

The Bristol Gordon England biplanes were a series of early British military biplanes designed by Eric Gordon England for the Bristol Aeroplane Company that first flew in 1912. They were designed for easy ground transport and could be quickly disassembled. The first, the G.E.1, was a two bay tractor biplane with a 50 hp Clerget engine driving the propeller through a chain drive, with the crew of two sitting side by side; it was sold to the Deutsche Bristol Werke but proved unsuitable as a trainer and was scrapped. The G.E.2 was an enlargement, two being built, one with a 100 hp Gnome double Omega rotary engine and one with a 70 hp Daimler, and both were entered in the August 1912 British military aeroplane trials.
