Royal Aircraft Factory B . E . 9 The Royal Aircraft Factory B . E . 9 was a British experimental reconnaissance aircraft of World War I . Design . The intention of the designers was to combine the high performance of tractor configuration aircraft with a good field of fire for the observer ' s machine gun , as provided by pushers . It was therefore decided to modify an example of the B . E . 2 c by adding a small wooden box ( which soon gained the nickname " pulpit " ) in front of the aircraft ' s propeller , which would accommodate a gunner armed with a Lewis gun on a trainable mount . The normal observer ' s cockpit of the B . E . 2c was removed , allowing the engine ( the standard air - cooled RAF 1 a of the B . E . 2 ) to be moved rearwards , while the wingspan was increased , and a larger fin was fitted . A general layout of this kind had various drawbacks - the most obvious being the perilous situation of the gunner - who was liable to injury by the propeller , or to be crushed by the engine in the mildest of crashes . The type was not developed further by the Royal Aircraft Factory ( although the French SPAD A . 2 , of broadly similar concept , saw some service ) and was soon rendered superfluous by the availability of synchronization gear s . Service testing . The single prototype built ( serial " 1700 " ) first flew at Farnborough on 14 August 1915 . Early testing indicated that performance was little different to the B . E . 2c upon which it was based , although the " difficulty " ( surely an understatement ) in communicating between the pilot and observer , separated by both engine and propeller , was reported . and in September that year 1700 was sent for testing in the field in France by a number of units , including No . 6 Squadron , 8 Squadron and 16 Squadron . While the B . E . 9 carried out a few operational patrols while in France , including one encounter with a German Fokker Eindekker , the opinion of those testing it was generally negative , with Major Hugh Dowding , at the time commander of 16 Squadron , stating that the B . E . 9 was " . . . an extremely dangerous machine from the passenger ' s point of view " , while Hugh Trenchard , head of the RFC in France said that " this type of machine cannot be recommended " . It was sent back to the United Kingdom early in 1916 . In his memoirs , Lt Duncan Grinnell - Milne recalls his gratitude that initial combat experience with the type proved inconclusive and that it was not ordered into mass production .

By 1962 the squadron ' s aircraft were phased out due to their age . They were replaced by SAC Boeing KC - 97 Stratotanker and Boeing KC - 135 Stratotanker s . The squadron was inactivated in the spring of 1963 and its KB - 50Js were sent to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposal Center at Davis - Monthan Air Force Base , Arizona .
