Well.......when the Beau arrives I will be parking the Jug for awhile.

I have an idea.  We in Aces High form a Beaufighter Squadron.  Players from all sides welcomed.

We get together on specified nights and search and destroy.  Don't drop from your regular squadron

just get the Beaus together.  To repeat a cliche.....it would be AWESOME.

I want in on that  :aok

Thanks Hajo, Dan, and all you other guys that put time into research to get the Beau added. Can't wait for it!

For you guys that don't know, These guys have been working on gathering information for months and months.

If these older brothers to the Mossies are added, I sure hope HTC adds the exhaust shrouds to help make them uber for night fighting.   :aok

The Beaufighter was named so because it shared many parts from the Beaufort bomber, if I recall. I wonder if we could get both at the same time? We're sorely (SORELY) lacking in the early bomber department.

Beaufort would be a great plane to have, gave sterling service throughout the war, but I"ll settle for the beauFighter first.

Krusty....and all who want the Beaufort.

We want the Beaufort?  Ok let us start doing the research.  While researching the Beaufighter from the manufacturing end I learned a lot about the Bristol Car Company.

Yes....that was the name of the Company before they made aircraft.

Here is what we need.

Drawings.  Prints so to speak.  Inquiries should be made to the Research Dept. of the NASM.

They were very helpful to me on the Beaufighter.  When making an inquiry for information you must specify what the info will be used for.  I plainly told them it would
be used for modeling the aircraft correctly for Aces High.  Monetary gain from the information received from them is frowned upon.  In some instances a release may
need signed stipulating your usage of the information.

Secondly Photos.  Cockpit etc.  And stats......including a Pilots Manual.  Everything must be factual with an unimpeachable source of information.

Anyone ready?  I'll jump in if needed.

But first things first.  Let's make sure the Beau is here.  Let's keep this topic alive in this forum.  HTC monitors these forums and does read what the community writes and wants.

I will sleep much better when I see an aircraft, a true war winning aircraft that were valiantly piloted during WWII by men from many nations.

It has its' place here.  I can't believe we haven't pushed for the Beaufighter with this vigor earlier in Aces High

Can see it now in Aces High with a parody of Blazing Saddles thrown in.

B.O.S.S. gathers for their first mission.  Maximum altitude will be 5K...as it will be in all Beau Missions.

We scan the Map.  We see two huge red darbars at A??.  Bish/Rooks/Knits hording.

Dan (as Hedley Lamar)  says....well.....what do you think we should do?

Hajo (as Slim Pickins raises hand jumps up and down)  I know! I know! we'll give them the number 6!!

Dan (again as Hedley Lamar)  What's a number 6?????


Hajo (again as Slim Pickins)  that's where we ride into town, a whoop'in and a holler'in, Shootin' etc.

Dam.....this will really make Aces High fun again.  :pray
