The Bristol Scout was a single-seat rotary-engined biplane. It was used by the RNAS and the RFC as a "scout", or fast reconnaissance type. It was one of the first single-seaters to be used as a fighter aircraft.
All later-built fighters continued to be called "scouts" in British usage into the early 1920s.
Bristol Scout C aircraft number 1611, flown by Captain Lanoe Hawker with No. 6 Squadron RFC downed two German aircraft and forced off a third on 25 July 1915 over Passchendaele and Zillebeke and was awarded the first-ever Victoria Cross for the actions of a British single-seat military scout/fighter pilot in aerial combat against an enemy's heavier-than-air aircraft.

The Bristol Scout is a British single-engine single-seat reconnaissance plane with a mixed wood and canvas structure. Originally the machine was a racing plane, but from version B it served in the British Air Force. The flight of the prototype took place in February 1914, and from the beginning of the war Scout B served in the 3rd and 5th squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps. Initially, they were used only as reconnaissance machines, but at the turn of 1914/1915 pilots flying them began to arm them on their own initiative, making them the first fighters. Four versions of the aircraft were created: from A to D, and 374 aircraft were produced for all versions. Technical data: Maximum speed: 151 km / h, speed of climb: 2.74 m / s, maximum ceiling 4900 m.
