Bristol Brigand
Long-range attack aircraft and torpedo bomber, destined to replace the Beaufighter. It used the wings and tail of the Buckingham, just like the Beaufighter had used those of the Beaufort. A small number were built after WWII and used exclusively in the British colonies. The Brigand was unreliable and unpopular. It was the last piston-engined bomber of the RAF.
