Vickers E.F.B.7

[1] (This was not the well-known pom-pom, but a smaller and lighter long recoil cannon firing less powerful ammunition).

The gunner sat in a large cockpit in the nose of the aircraft, with a rotating mount for the cannon and an armoured floor claimed to be bulletproof, while the pilot sat in a cockpit behind the wings, so that the pilot and gunner could not communicate.

Sometime early in its career, it was fitted with large cowlings to catch oil from the engines.

[5] An order for a further twelve aircraft was placed on 20 August 1915, which were to have a modified fuselage, allowing the pilot to sit closer to the gunner and owing to a shortage of Monosoupapes, powered by two 80 hp (60 kW) Renault 80 hp air-cooled V8 engines.

Performance with these less powerful engines was much poorer and the production orders were cancelled on 16 February 1916 before any more were completed.
