 | The BE12 was a single seat version of the BE2c - used as a fighter.
|
|
 |
| There were 613 BE12s made, in three varieties. The main differentiators
were the engine, wing cellule and tail. The basic BE12 (above) had the BE2c wing cellule
and tail, and was powered by the 140hp RAF4A. The BE12a had the same engine with the BE2e
wing cellule, and the BE12b was a BE12 with a 200hp Hispano Suiza. We'll be publishing
more details here soon, including plans.
|
|
| This is a research project - we don't yet have full history of every BE12
built. There are blanks, mostly from late production machines which were probably
delivered straight into store never entering service.
|
|
| If you can add any detail, no matter how trivial it may seem, please email Mick Davis directly and we will add your
information to the database for the benefit of all.
