Experimental fighter. Its poor handling saw it rejected for service. B1484 aircraft is sometimes described as the prototype that crashed on August 17, 1917 but other sources say that aircraft had no serial and B1484 was the first production model. It had three guns, not two as fitted to the prototype. Two others built. Location of the photo is not certain but believed to be Joyce Green (named for a farm) where Vickers had its factory. B1484 also flown from Biggin Hill and Martlesham Heath. Photo from: Library and Archives Canada
