They are, front to rear, Avro Anson K6163, Airspeed Oxford L4537, Hawker Hart Trainer K5863, Avro Tutor K3303 and Hawker Fury K8238.
Несмотря на появление Beaufighter, на протяжении 1941-1942 годов Beaufort продолжали использоваться для противокорабельных операций как в Средиземноморье, такие водах метрополии. На снимке Mk I из 217-й эскадрильи, базировавшейся в Сент-Ивале. В феврале 1942 года эта эскадрилья (базировавшаяся тогда в Мэнстоне) участвовала в неудачных атаках на линкоры "Шарнхорст" и "Гнейзенау" в Ла-Манше.
Bristol Beaufort 1 L9878/MW-R of 217 Squadron based at St Eval, Cornwall, was photographed by CHARLES E. BROWN during World War Two.
As an inexperienced navigator, R.Nesbit mistakenly directed this actual Beaufort, L9878, through a balloon barrage over Plymouth on the night of April 11-12, 1941.
