Bristol Beaufort Mk1 BoF Repaint by UncleTgt
This is a repaint for the Bristol Beaufort Mk1 made by Merlin2 for CFS 2, made specifically for Rami's Battle of France package. Separate dp files have been created to depict the early war payloads more authentically, one for the -b bomber version (bomb bay doors), & a separate one for the -t torpedo model (no bomb bay doors).
The texture offered is: L4450 OA - F of 22 squadron RAF, circa May 1940. This aircraft lost 25/26th May 1940
25-26/05/1940: Gardening (mine laying)
Type: Bristol Beaufort I
Serial number: L4450, OA-F
Operation: Gardening
Lost: 26/05/1940
Wing Commander Harry M. Mellor, RAF 16097, 22 Sqdn., age 37, 26/05/1940, missing
Flying Officer Frederick R. Jamieson, RAF 37855, 22 Sqdn., age 27, 26/05/1940, missing
Leading Aircraftman Alan D. MacKenzie, RAF 623407, 22 Sqdn., age 24, 26/05/1940, missing
Pilot Officer Horace J. Cook, RAFVR, 22 Sqdn., age 22, 26/05/1940, missing
Took off 25/05/1940 23.00 hrs from North Coates. Lost without trace into the North Sea, off Heligoland, Germany. The crew are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial.
In 1934, No. 22 Squadron was reformed as a torpedo unit at Donibristle with Vickers Vildebeests. At the start of World War II, the Vildebeests flew anti-submarine patrols over the North Sea until replaced by Bristol Beauforts. 22 Squadron brought the Beaufort into operational service; receiving the first aircraft in November 1939 and, after an intense work up at North Coates in Lincolnshire, the Squadron resumed operations in April 1940, beginning with mine-laying sorties.
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 first aircraft flew its first operation on 15/16 April 1940, but for much of May 22 squadron was grounded whilst problems with the new Taurus engines were fixed.
