Narrative:
Three B.N.1s were ordered, the first one flying in February 1918. When it was evaluated, it demonstrated performance that was generally superior to the Sopwith Snipe, with a much better ceiling. It was destroyed, however, on 10 March 1918 when its engine (only the sixth Bentley BR2 engine to be built) caught fire in the air. This caused the B.N.1 to be abandoned, with the Snipe being purchased to replace the Camel, and designed H.P. Folland concentrating on the design of the more advanced Nieuport Nighthawk
