Beaufighter TF. X

This Beaufighter X was built in October 1944 at Bristol's shadow factory at Old Mixon, Weston-super-Mare with serial RD253. It did not see any service during WWII, but was supplied with several other examples to the Portuguese Naval Air Arm in March 1945 for use as a coastal patrol aircraft and assigned serial BF-13. Portuguese Beaufighters were withdrawn from service in 1949 and after a period of many years as an instructional airframe in Lisbon, the aircraft was presented to the RAF for preservation in 1965. The aircraft moved to the UK in 1968 and restoration commenced using parts from other Beaufighters and was completed in 1971.
