Following a recent recovering, the French cockade worn by a reproduction of Bristol Scout 1264 has hit the market.

Bristol Scout 1264 was first flown in 2015 at Bicesterbefore travelling across to Thassos in Greece in 2016 for the 100 years commemoration of the RNAS in the Dardanelles and then taken to France as partof the commemorations of the Battle of the Somme…. This is the only airworthy Bristol Scout ‘C’ type in the world. She has original parts (stick,rudder bar and magneto) which Flight Lieutenant FDH Bremner brought home from his time in Greece on Thassos where he flew his ‘Beloved 1264’ as part of the Gallipoli Campaign in WWI.

The reproduction machine was reportedly rebuilt “to the within 99% of the 1914 specification.” This particular section of linen fabric was sourced from the side of the Scout’s fuselage and measures 77 x 56 cm. All funds raised will go towards work on the aircraft engine and associated transportation to shows around the UK.

The fabric is located in Ludlow, United Kingdom and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the complete listing on eBay.
