	Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI No. 272 Squadron RAF, Malta 1942. Production of only 1,000 pieces. During November 1942, 272 Squadron's partnership with 252 broke up with 272 moving to Takali where they were re-equipped with new Beaufighter Mk VIs. Together with 227 Squadron, who were already at Malta, they took on the role of attacking air transports ferrying supplies from Sicily to Rommel's forces in Tunisia. The Bristol Beaufighter was developed in about 8 months by using sections from the earlier designed Bristol Beaufort. It was given more powerful engines and a variety of modifications making the aircraft capable of many tasks. It was a night fighter, fighter bomber and torpedo bomber performing anti-shipping duty as well as ground attack and long range interdiction. The different variants, 14 in all, were capable of carrying bombs, torpedoes, rockets, canons and machine guns. The Beaufighter was operated by 11 countries.
