This Thai-built bomber ('Type 2' [a two-seater biplane]) was designed by Lt-Col Luang Vechayan Rangsarit in 1927. A test flight was conducted and the aircraft was officially named 'Baribatra' by His Majesty King Rama VII. The bomber served with Wing 1 and Wing 2 and was fitted with a 450-HP, British-made Bristol Jupiter engine. This aircraft could reach up to 157 miles per hour and served the Royal Thai Air Force during 1927-1940.
