Re: Beaufighter ID Help

Jack,

Hi. It is possibly a Beaufighter IF V8318 "F" of 252 Squadron, operating out of Magrun (North Africa ?) - circa 1943. The photo I have in Freeman's "The RAF of WW2 in Colour", has the wing obstructing the rear copula - so can't tell if there's a retrofitted Vickers K mounted.

Regards,
