1:72 scale diecast aircraft by Hobby Master. Bristol Beaufighter TF (Torpedo Fighter) Mk. X, MB-T/NT950
No. 236 Squadron, Coastal Group #16, RAF North Coates. The Bristol Beaufighter TF (Torpedo Fighter) Mk. X first appeared in May 1943 and it wasn’ t long before it was considered the ultimate strike version. The Mk. X was powered by two Hercules XVII engines designed for peak performance at the low altitudes where this aircraft would be operating. The aircraft was capable of carrying varying payloads from a torpedo to bombs or rockets. By the end of production 2,205 Mk. X Beaufighters had been completed. In April 1943 the 236 Squadron was one of three squadrons that formed the new Coastal Command Strike Wing, Coastal Group #16 at RAF North Coates. They flew the Bristol Beaufighter Mk. X commonly referred to as the “Torbeau” because of its ability to be armed with a torpedo or optional rockets or bombs. Their primary function was anti-shipping and during the final three years of WWII the North Coates squadrons sank 117 ships accounting for over 150,000 tons. All this came at the cost of 120 Beaufighters and the loss of 241 crew members. | ||||||||||||||
