The Bristol Scout was a single-seat rotary engined biplane. It's origin were as a racing aircraft. Like similar fast it was used by the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corp as a 'scout' or fighter/fast reconnaissance type.
Although used as a fighter it was not possible to fit it with an effective forward-firing armament until the first British-designed gun/engine synchronisation system became available later in 1916, by which time the Scout was obsolescent. Single-seat fighters continued to be called "scouts" in British usage into the early 1920s.
It was an impressive aircraft in its day and well regarded by its pilots.
