Fighter Bristol Beaufighter: Launch of mass production

Initially, it was planned to equip the fourth prototype Beaufighter with an on-board radar sight, and for this in mid-August 1940 it was delivered to the tangmer, where a fighter-interceptor was deployed, engaged in research of the air-to-air class radar and the development of tactics for the use of individual types of night fighters. However, here he was damaged during the raid of German aviation and was sent to Philton for repair. Instead, at the end of August, the first serial aircraft was delivered to Tangmer, on which the AI ​​MK IV on -board radar with a maximum range of 120 m was experimentally installed.

Since September 2 in 1940, the aircraft was used in real defensive operations in addition to air tests, but to no avail. Nevertheless, operational missions made it possible to collect important information about the work of the radar and tactics of the operation. In the end, on -board radar sights, as soon as they became available, were installed on recently produced IF Beaufighter fighters. This availability has increased, and since the beginning of 1941, more and more new IF options left the plant with a radar.

He worked at a wavelength of 1.5 m, transmitting antennas (characteristic “Christmas tree”) were installed in the bow of the fuselage and on the front edge of the wings. The receiving antennas had the shape of diagonal rods fixed on the upper and lower surface of the profile, in its outer part.

The first 50 fighter Beaufight I, produced in Filton, were armed with only four 20 mm guns. However, the armament of the new two-engine fighter was soon recognized as weak against the bombers, and the Beaufight I eight 7.69 mm Browning machine guns was ordered. It was originally planned to install them in a container under the fuselage, but due to fears about a significant fall in the characteristics, it was decided to install them in the wing. However, without a significant change in the design, this was impossible. Ultimately, Bristol reduced the number of machine guns added to six: two in the left wing (two landing headlights were located outside them) and four in the right. Each machine gun has a supply of ammunition for 1000 rounds. At the same time, large ammunition boxes began to be installed, without the need for uncomfortable replacement of the balloon stores during the flight by the radio -observant.
