<p>c/n 687.
Built 1917.
Saw Royal Flying Corps service as ‘F937’. Later sold privately, it was registered as ‘G-EBIB’ and modified for skywriting. It then flew with the Savage Skywriting Company, alongside ‘G-EBIA’ (previously ‘F943’) which remains airworthy with the Shuttleworth Collection, and ‘G-EBIC’ (previously ‘F938’) now on display in the RAF Museum at Hendon.
‘G-EBIB’ joined the Science Museum in 1939 and is now on display in the ‘Flight’ Hall, restored to its Skywriting colours.
Science Museum, South Kensington, London.
