Historical information

Historical Details: The AARG B.E.2a wings are a pair of upper main planes or wing panels without ailerons, of a wing warping design, and are almost certain to be sourced from the Central Flying School at Point Cook, as no other B.E.2a aircraft were ever brought to Australia. Description: The Royal Aircraft Factory in England was formed in 1911 and among its designers was Geoffrey de Havilland who later founded his own company.

The B.E.2 was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and first flew in February 1912 with de Havilland as the test. Level of Importance: National
