Recommendations added to my list – I’ll tidy it up and post the recommendations to date.

Any recommendations for a Beaufighter text?

EYR

According to Wikipedia, a gent called James Lyle bought her in 2011 ; but that’s all I know

What a wonderful pair of pics Martin, as you say it looks like the Walrus may have survived the prang.
Moggy, that’s looks like the shot I referred to in my OP and shows her being restored at Audley End.

I tried to email Vintage Fabrics; but it seems that there is an email receipt limit
I don’t suppose there are any members who live near Audley End who’d like to pay her a visit at Vintage Fabrics?

Could anyone recommend a book on the evolution and construction of the Beaufighter?

RPSmith- caveat noted; but it’s a useful list.
Sideslip- I agree; but as a relative novice I don’t have the experience to make an informed choice yet. During my initial ‘learning stage’ with naval history I bought texts, which now , I wouldn’t use as a doorstop – it was a bloody expensive learning curve. Although I’ve asked for recommendations- I won’t be necessarily be opening my wallet.

Glaring hole..
You MUST get:
British Aeroplanes 1914-1918: J.M. BRUCE
The definitive book on the subject, down to numbers and versions produced, serial number ranges, special historic examples, Profusely Illustrated with REAL photos, design history and evolution, and including all? the seaplane versions, as well.

A definite addition – this is getting expensive; but I’m not complaining!
