First flight is shown in article as Chingford in August 1916 but 3687 was erected at Hendon and flown on both the 28 April 1916 and 12 May 1916 by G M Dyott. Comments ? MilborneOne ( talk) 16:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Despite the aircraft name it appears to have been ordered as a fighter (a rather large one) fitted with a big gun. Sturtivant and Page's RN serials and units lists them as Dyott Twin-engined Tractor Fighter Biplanes. 3687 had a large COW gun fitted in November 1916 for trials at Grain and I think originally was to have a Vickers 2-pdr gun. Anybody know where the "bomber" came from? MilborneOne ( talk) 16:32, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
