This episode follows its rapid development, its many combat roles, and the wild low-level mission that dropped French flags over Paris in daylight.

The Bristol Beaufighter was powered by two Bristol Hercules sleeve-valved radials - the 14-cylinder precursor to the 18-cylinder Centaurus. The Beau served as a heavy fighter and night fighter, but is perhaps best known for its ‘Torbeau’ TF mark that saw great success in South East Asia. #ww2 #wwii #beaufighter #bristol #warbirds | Daniel J Wheatcroft
