Developed in the mid-late 1930s, the Bristol Beaufort fulfilled an urgent need of the Royal Air Force for an effective anti-shipping aircraft. Problems with the Taurus engines would hamper the early career of the Beaufort, but would still be built in considerable numbers in Britain as well as in Australia, and serve in all theatres of war throughout the Second World War.

This video covers the history of the Beaufort in Australia. For the history and development of the Bristol Beaufort in England it can be found in this video: [ Ссылка ]
