Following a series of events unfolding in North Africa and the Middle East, it was recognised that RAF Coastal Command required a long-range heavy fighter aircraft such as the Beaufighter.[15] Accordingly, during early 1941, Bristol proceeded with the development of the Beaufighter Mk. IC long-range fighter to meet this requirement.
By the end of the war, some 70 pilots serving with RAF units had become aces while flying Beaufighters.
