EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the historic Bristol Fighter F2B, registration number D8096, takes to the skies above Filton in July 1961. The Bristol Fighter, a biplane fighter and trainer aircraft produced by the British and Company between 1914 and 1918, is a significant piece of aviation history. This particular aircraft, D8096, was preserved and is now part of the esteemed Shuttleworth Collection. The Shuttleworth Collection, located in Bedfordshire, England, is a unique aviation museum that focuses on the restoration and flight of historic aircraft. The collection showcases a diverse range of aircraft, from early biplanes to jet-powered fighters, providing visitors with a glimpse into the history of flight. In this image, D8096 is seen soaring above Filton, the former site of the Bristol Aeroplane Company.

The image captures the essence of the era, with the classic biplane design and the open cockpit, offering a glimpse into the past. Today, D8096 continues to fly, preserving the legacy of the Bristol Fighter and the rich history of aviation. The Shuttleworth Collection's dedication to the restoration and flight of historic aircraft ensures that future generations can appreciate the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the skies of the past. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of aviation history and the passion of those who preserve it.
