The Brokker (a nickname which stuck the glider having no other name) was a single seat glider entered into the first British gliding endurance competition held at Itford Hill in 1922. It combined the wing of a Fokker D. VII with an engineless Bristol F.2 Fighter fuselage. It flew well in the stiff winds of the last day and achieved the third longest flight.
