Martinsyde Buzzard
The Martinsyde F.4 Buzzard was developed as a powerful and fast biplane fighter for the Royal Air Force (RAF) but the end of the First World War led to the abandonment of large-scale production. Fewer than 400 were eventually produced with many exported. Of particular note was the Buzzard's high speed being one of the fastest aircraft developed during World War I.

gathering of pilots.3

was the Martinsyde Buzzard back in '96. She was feeling sluggish
lately, so it felt like a good time to try another.7
