Bristol Buckmaster T.1

Valom 1/72.

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 company's response to Air Ministry SpecificationT.13/43 was the Type 166 which was based on the Buckingham with a new wider front fuselage
to allow side-by-side seating for an instructor and trainee and room
for a radio operator. All armament and armour and military equipment was
also removed.
