Details of the <strong>Be2c</strong> in the<br />

Imperial War Museum,<br />

Lambeth, London.<br />

This aircraft has no windshield<br />

which was unusual.<br />

The center section of the upper<br />

wing has a cut-out that was<br />

applied to some aircraft.<br />

The observer had small cut-out<br />

windows on both sides in the<br />

front of the cockpit covering to<br />

enable an improved downward<br />

view.<br />

The V-8 engine with dual<br />

exhaust stacks, typical for this<br />

aircraft.<br />

The rib stitching is clearly<br />

visible on this view of the<br />

undersid of the wingtip.<br />

Unfortunately also, that over the<br />

years, the trailing edge has<br />

become warped.<br />
