stevehnz Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Very smart Tony, there is a lot to like in that, a great restore. Nice to see the lesser know versions on show, I wonder if these were faster than the bombers, they sure look sleeker? Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve and yeah I wonder,...... must have been lighter without the turret,..... and the streamlining could help too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Well done mate, nice to see you managed the restoration. As mentioned earlier, you opened my eyes to a different version of the Beaufighter that I wasn't aware of. Congratulations. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mi Tasol Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Very nice jobs - especially with the lack of info available on the Mk IX Beaufreighter. Hopefully no-one will want to kill me for this but below are some photos from the Mk IX supplement to the RAAF Beaufort manual that I just got my hands on. Unfortunately I was working from a roughly a5 photocopy so the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Figure 5 is internal details of an antenna mounting under the nose so I have left it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
