British Aircraft Cupid

The British Aircraft Cupid was a two-seat, single-engined monoplane, a smaller version of the B.A.

[1] Whereas the Eagle was aimed at the sporting and racing market, the Cupid targeted the touring and club training roles.

[2] The Cupid was a low-wing wooden aircraft, powered by a 130 hp (97 kW) de Havilland Gipsy Major inverted inline engine.

Unlike the Eagle, the Cupid had a fixed undercarriage with cantilever legs that were enclosed in fairings which partly covered the wheels.

Owned by Charles Best, it was flown in the 1935 King's Cup Jubilee Race by John Armour, then equerry to the Prince of Wales, but retired.
