	Bristol Type 152 Beaufort
		The Bristol Beaufort was one of a series of aircraft derived from the earlier Bristol Blenheim.
		Bristol’s response was to further modify the Type 150, producing the Type 152 Beaufort, which could satisfy both M.15/35 and G.24/35.
		These Beauforts were used by the RAAF in the Pacific, entering service in 1942 and remaining in use until the end of the war.

		The Bristol Beaufort was the only monoplane produced for the Royal Air Force that was designed from the start to satisfy the dual role of general reconnaissance and torpedo bomber.
		The Beaufort operated very successfully as a torpedo bomber, but also carried out the essential role of mine layer.
		In 1942, all Beaufort squadrons were deployed to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean to meet a changing enemy threat.

		This aircraft was handed over to the Royal Australian Air Force on 29 October 1942, who assigned it the serial number A9-141.
		With the dedication of a small group of volunteers and the financial support of our sponsors, A9-141 is currently being restored to flight.
		When completed (in 2011 - for the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force), it will be the only airworthy Beaufort anywhere in the world - of the (approximately) 1,800 built for the Royal Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force.

		The Bristol Blenheim (shown left) was introduced to Royal Air Force service in 1937, and its younger sister by just one year, the Bristol Beaufighter, was introduced to RAF service in 1938.
		A frequent query is “why was the Bristol model that succeeded the Type 411 called the Type 603?” The answer is that it was introduced in the 603rd year after the City of Bristol had been granted its Royal charter, which gave it the unique distinction of being "a County unto itself".
		In November 1999, the Bristol Blenheim 3 was revealed, advancing further the aerodynamic development of the the car including a completely new frontal treatment incorporating a cleverly engineered aerofoil section in the grille aperture.

		The Beaufort was designed in 1937 to combine the requirements of Air Ministry specifications G.24/35 and M.15/35, the former for a general reconnaissance bomber and the latter for a land-based torpedo bomber.
		However, importing the engines was patchy due to enemy action and after 165 aircraft had been built, they reverted back to the Taurus.

	AVIA - Bristol Beaufort
		The Beaufort was designed as a successor to the Blenheim in the maritime bomber role and became one of the RAF's best known torpedo-bombers well into the war years despite the fact that the grand majority of its missions involved conventional bombing and mine-laying.
		With decent performance figures, Beauforts were quite active around the UK and in the Mediterranean up to 1943 where Malta-based Beauforts proved quite deadly to Axis shipping.
		One of the Beaufort's most memorable attacks was a raid against Brest harbor where they scored hits against the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.
