    The beaufighter is really under rated, it performed incredibly well in all theatres. Interesting fact (if you like such things) it had 4 .303 machine guns in one wing and 2 in the other. I think it was to fit a searchlight or something. Oh and another brilliantly produced and narrated video with a terrible landing Taff. We expect nothing less.

      A landing light, not a searchlight. But they did on this (and other aircraft) try to use landing lights to illuminate targets for nightfighting. It did a lovely job of illuminating where the fighter was more than lighting the target and was soon abandoned. They also tried the 'Turbinlite' which a Havoc with a big light and two Hurricanes. Also didn't really work.

    When landing, IMMEDIATELY upon touchdown, flaps UP and engines to idle. Then, after you slow down to well below takeoff speed, pull the stick all the way back while GENTLY applying the brakes.

    You might be surprised to learn that the six .303 in Brownings in the wings were asymmetrical with four starboard and two port. The asymmetry is caused by the landing light in the port wing.

    The Beaufighter didn't have three .303s in each wing. It had four in the right, and two in the left, because of the landing light being mounted in the left wing.

  • @BrianWMay

    Firstly there weren't 3 .303 in each wing, it was two one side and four the other. Not sure they used tracer either as it gave away the night fighter's position.

    Want to hear something creepy, my Son when he was only about two years old was sitting in our lounge room with the wife and I. He was playing happily with his toys, I was watching a documentary on English Spitfires, when quite out of the blue my Son states that he used to fly Beau fighters. This took the wife and I back, at the time I didn't even know what was a beau fighter, so if didn't know about it, he could not have heard it from anywhere. He never mentioned it again and he always seemed reluctant to pursue the subject with us. Strange don't you think.
