The Bristol Beaufort Mk.I is a twin-engine maritime torpedo bomber designed for the Royal Air Force (RAF). The first units entered service with Coastal Command at the end of 1939. In the Mk I version, as many as 1,014 units of this model were produced. These aircraft took active part in combat operations from April 1940. They were widely used for mining sea ports, conducting daytime and nighttime torpedo attacks, as well as bombing coastal targets. One of the most famous episodes involving the Bristol Beaufort was the successful torpedo attack on the German battleship "Gneisenau" in April 1941. From March 1942, these aircraft also operated extensively in the Mediterranean, flying from Malta—an RAF key base during the Mediterranean campaign.
