Nope, and I should say that this AC was under restoration at this time.  Meaning, that it may not perfectly represent a wartime model of the AC. Obviously its a twin too:)

A Beaufighter?  Wow! Not only does it looks cool on the outsdie but cool on the inside too.:)

Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."
