R.A.F. B.E.2b

The R.A.F. B.E.2b was a development of the R.A.F. B.E.2a with improved top-decking, rudder, and elevators. In later models, ailerons were fitted for rolling instead of wing-warping. Like the BE.2 and BE.2a before it, it gave good service in the first months of the war, but it found itself completely outclassed as the war progressed. In September 1915, the RFC had only four still in service in France.
