Bristol Beaufighter

[NEARY]

I think that the beaufighter should be added.

It was a very important aircraft in the war in Europe, and was also used much in the pacific campaign in the Royal Australian Air Force where it was nick named by the Japanese " Whispering Death"

here is some basic information on it :

First Flight: July 17, 1939

It was powered by 2 x bristol 1770 Horsepower Hercules XVII 14-cylinder air-cooled radials.

Armament: 4 x 20mm cannons and 6 x .303 MG's, Had 1 .303 dorsal gunner position. 1 x 1600lbs or 1 x 2127 lbs torpedo + 2 x 500lbs bombs and 8 x 3" rockets.

Max speed: 318 mph
Ceiling: 15,000 ft
range: 1470mph
climb rate: 5,000ft in 3 minutes 30 seconds

btw i didn't copy and paste any of this

     Ever wonder why only the bad guys nicknamed Allied aircraft with those cool "Death" names,
Whistling Death, Whispering Death, etc?

Because they didn't.  It was made up by the Allied media.  Sounds cool, but doesn't check out when actually followed up on.

Thought I replied to this but I guess not 

We'll get the Beau Fighter eventually i'm sure 

[fudgums]

410 should come first. Becuase it is sexier than the beuafighter

[B4Buster]

I like the Beau fighter because we share the same name. My last name starts with Beau. It means handsome, pretty, or beautiful in Frech (has many meanings along that line)

its may be handsome and pretty.

But the 410 is just down right sexi.

Metaphor:

Jennifer Anniston Pretty

Marissa Miller down right sexi <---410 w000000t

I'd say this plane has some sex appeal, I like it

The Beau fought from 40-45 and did it down and dirty on the deck in the ETO, PTO, MTO and CBI.  I've been reading all I can find on the Beau lately and I'm amazed at the war it fought.  wave top and right above the trees was the norm.  I'd give up my 38G for a Beau

[fudgums]

I still like my metaphor 

[B4Buster]

I'd give up my 38G for a Beau

I'd fly it just because we have the same name but Corky...that's going a bit far 

I belive that the shortened nose it has (allowing engines to be closer) would make it a nimble fighter. The germans did this with the 410.

I can't wait for it to be added

     Apparently I need to turn up the sarcasm

Both are sexy, put the mossi in it too.


Get the beau and it would be another great addition to BoB, Philippines and Burma events.
