Comments:
First flown in 1939, the Beaufighter was in service with the RAF in 1940 as a nightfighter and, by 1943, she was in action with the Coastal Command. The T.F.X., which was the last variant to be produced in large numbers, combined the virtues of a fighter with the striking power of a torpedo-bomber. By the end of the war, over 5,000 Beaufighters had been produced and used on almost all fronts. The T.F.X. was powered by two Bristol Hercules XVII engines, giving a top speed of 320 mph (512 km/h) and a loaded range of 1,400 miles (2,253 kilometres). In addition to the 18 inch torpedo, it was armed with four 20 mm cannons in the nose, one .303 machine gun in the dorsal position and either six machine guns or eight rocket projectiles on the wings.
