I just hope it's flyable.

Great news eh!! Beaufort is a funky looking one...not a beautiful aircraft but so useful to have!

DT, you left your thread unlocked. Better get someone to lock it again ;)

Anyway, I am in awe. I never would have expected to see the Beaufort in the sim. Beautiful!

EDIT - I see in one of the screens the plane has two nose guns. Is this another version, or a weapon load-out option?

I built an Airfix 1/72 scale model of one many years ago, so I have good feelings about the aircraft.

Painted it as a Coastal Command aircraft.

Great news!
I'm just reading Torpedo Leader on Malta by W.C. Patrick Gibbs. I was wondering if someone was moddeling it :)))
THANKS DT :grin:

Early and late model. All 303s.

Yes indeed! Congrats TD - you are the best!
I have a large glossy photo of a Beaufort on my wall -from my late uncle. He was a navigator in same - over the Timor Sea.
Not a glamorous aircraft- but a workhorse of those days. Inclusion of just such aircraft reflects the outstanding historical commitment of Il2 & its modders.

It will be a good stand in for the Lockheed Hudson as well.

:cool:

Thanks. :)

S!

Woah, nice update!
