| Hi all So I am researching imports to Australia of Bristol Fighters during and after WW1. One was imported and became a QANTAS aircraft and several others were imported by the AWM and apparently destroyed in a fire at Duntroon? One was also displayed at "SOUTH AUSTRALIA, 1920-10. BRISTOL F2B FIGHTER AIRCRAFT ON DISPLAY AT THE MOTOR TRADERS ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA" Caption on photo Can anybody shed any further light on these aircraft Kind regards John |

| Thanks Brenden I am particularly interested in a number of military Bristol Fighters imported for museum purposes along with other types - I believe most were accidently destroyed by fire - several were said to be AFC 1 Squadron aircraft - any thoughts? Kind regards John |

| I have not gone into the AFC aircraft as I am more concentraining on QF history at the moment. |
