BRITISH AEROPLANES
~A~
AIRCRAFT FACTORY. Royal Aircraft Factory, Farnborough, near Aldershot.
For a long time this establishment had been engaged in dirigible
construction and repairs. In 1911 it was decided to expand it in
connection with the Royal Flying Corps. Its precise functions are
somewhat uncertain. Its nominal main purpose is the repair, etc., of
Service Aircraft. During 1912, however, it turned out several machines
to a design of its own, known as the _"B.E."_ This design was at one
time regarded as confidential; but subsequently duplicates were built by
private contractors, and the design illustrated below, published by the
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.
