It is 1918, and the skies are alive with the thunderous growl of engines and the sharp crack of gunfire. Against the golden quilt of English farmland, the Bristol Fighter F.2B — the ‘Brisfit’ — soars with confidence and grace. You can almost feel the cool rush of the air around the open cockpit, hear the beat of the Rolls-Royce Falcon engine, and sense the sheer nerve required to pilot this swift and deadly machine through the tumultuous skies of the Great War.

This highly collectible Flightcolour No. 13 print from Flight International (April 1978) features the magnificently preserved Bristol Fighter D-8096, operated by the Shuttleworth Collection. Revered for its speed, manoeuvrability, and firepower, the Bristol Fighter redefined two-seater aircraft tactics and became one of the RFC’s most successful aircraft. Measuring approximately 11 x 8⅜ inches and preserved in good condition, this print is a vivid celebration of a machine that shaped the course of air combat during the First World War.

To collect and preserve historic prints like this is to honour a legacy of bravery, innovation, and sacrifice. The Bristol Fighter stands as a lasting symbol of resilience and ingenuity, and for collectors, historians, and aviation enthusiasts, this print offers a direct and moving connection to a truly heroic chapter in aviation history.
