Post by: Hades55 on June 17, 2004, 11:37:37 PM: Beaufighter was the workhorse of RAF at mediteranean and north
afrika. If a german ship was attacked 60-70% that was with beaufighter. Also many land attacks in Aegean islands and in every german occupied beach around.

The Beaufighter Mk.21 Tronski quotes actually has 4 x 20mm and 4 x .50 cals (replacing the 6 x .303s). It's basically an Australian built Mk.X.

Beaufigher is one of my favourite planes and would dearly love to see one especially now that they'd be more use attacking ships!

Me too Nexx. It have very strong historical presense in Med.
These guys was real heroes, whole missions was wiped out from
me-109s and in general they had very heavy losses from ack also,
and without their two radials i think their losses would be a lot more heavier. Even after heavy losses they was continue to coming.
In AHII wich you can deack the ships its the perfect striker with his rockets & torpedoes.
Ok, its slower than the mossy but its more taugh in receiving hits,
smaller as target, and with his two radials you have some hopes to return to base.

Also i would like to see the P-39, P-36(the ultimate turner),and
ofcourse the Raven with his 6 20mm or 6 30mm.

I'd like one in the Banff Wing colours and along with the Mossie (also in Banff Wing colours) would make a formidable pair attacking ships! :)

Although I had seen many B24s before, I only noticed when I went to Duxford yesterday that it had oval engines! I thought it looks really unique and rather beautiful so yeah, please model the B24!!! :)

Post by: moot on June 18, 2004, 06:16:21 PM: our G10 is a K4.

My guess is an '84, a 410, two 38s, a Tu2, maybe a B24 if Citabria makes his work easy enough to adapt...

Perhaps, but then people still fly the mossie, 110 and others like the Il, Stuka in the MA. Unfortunately to a certain degree the MA does seem to revolve around a certain few a/c types, but there are plenty who would love to take the rugged and tough Beaufighter for a run or two!
