Beaufort Mk-II (Serial N1172, AW-S) of No.42 Squadron RAF Coastal Command.
 
This unit re-equipped with Beauforts in April 1940 with which it specialised in anti-shipping and mine-laying duties. At first based at Thorney Island
the unit eventually moved to Leuchers where it was equipped with this variant. Soon after it was sent to India via the Middle-East where it converted to Blenheim Mk-V's
then Hurricane II's and finally to Thunderbolt II's.

Original 3DZ model and skin the work of Captain Kurt, skin re-marked by me. Cockpit taken from Claudio Wilches' Ventura, repainted by me. Wing view 3DZ from The Firm's Invader, skin by Knug, adapted by me.
Sorry about the rather jackdaw approach of building the interior view as my 3DZ editing ability is limited. Thanks for the inspiration guys and keep up the good work!

Enjoy Folks!
