Bristol Buckmaster
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRI : Bristol Buckmaster
The Bristol type 166 Buckmaster was an advanced trainer aircraft of the Royal Air Force. By 1945, there was a serious gap in performance between the so-called advanced trainers in use – such as the Avro Anson, Airspeed Oxford, dual-control Bristol Blenheim and Lockheed Hudson – and the combat aircraft which the pilots would be expected to fly on graduation.
The Bristol response to Air Ministry Specification T.I3/43 was to make further use of the Buckingham wing, with yet another new fuselage. The trainee and instructor were seated side-by-side with a wireless operator seated behind.
112 Buckmasters were built.
