A spot of ship hunting in the Beaufighter. Late summer 1940...

Early start, lined up and ready to go hunting.

Out over the North Sea, looking for enemy convoys.

Nearing the Dutch coast, should be some

Hehe, downloaded that bird earlier today. It flys quite nicely.

Great pics Tempest, however, are you using unlimited ammo? Because the cannon ammo wouldn't last three ships for me... And you might as well spit at a ship if you using just .303's.

No cheating here Woddy old pal. I got at least some 20mm into each ship, but finished off the last one with my remaining machine gun ammo. To be honest, I think those ships sink a bit too easy ;) But, like I said once before, at my age I like it easy ;D

There is definitely  something about the Beaufighter isn't there.

Yes,there is. Must be the short and high fuselage with the fishy looking shape. 8)

But I prefer the later models with the "V" elevators. They look even better. 8)

I am eagerly awaiting Avhistory to release the Beaufighter TFX. Then the Germans won't know what hit 'em! ;D
