The Alcock Scout was a curious "one-off" experimental fighter biplane flown briefly during World War I. It was assembled by Flight Lieutenant John Alcock at Moudros out of components recovered from a crashed Sopwith Triplane and Sopwith Pup, reassembled into a new aircraft. Alcock never flew it himself, but squadron-mate FSL Norman Starbuck made a few flights in it, the first on 15 October 1917.
