The skinners would have good fun too with all the different paint schemes worn by the Beau in the ETO, MTO, PTO and CBI

Thought a Bolingbroke was a Canadian-built Beaufort?

No shortage of colour that's for sure.

Bolingbroke was Canadian license-built version of the Blenheim.

Beautiful, Lyric. That oil cooler looks really vulnerable.  I took the liberty to snap those two together.

Thank you when I posted it thought it would be side by side.

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.

Count me in Hajo

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

Cobia and Snap would be a terror in this thing

Any time you start going backwards because of too many guns I say it cant be a bad thing.
