Due to a severe shortage of aircraft at the outbreak of WWI the G-III was pressed into service by the RFC. The British were much more impressed with the French 80hp Le Rhone engine than the aeroplane that contained it. Rapidly overtaken by advances in aircraft design the G-III was soon relegated to air-training duties. This particular example was built in France in 1916 but nothing is known about it's serial or service life.

Even just building Aifix models of the beaufighter as a kid I thought the type was menacing. Those huge engines meant it could carry a formidable armament turning the type into a very effective night-fighter or ground-attack aircraft. In total 5562 Beaufighters were built serving with 52 operational RAF Squadrons, indeed the last flight was not until 1960 at RAF Seletar. Although displayed with D-day stripes this airframe never flew with the RAF, rather served with the Portuguese Navy as BF-13.

In the early 1950 the adoption of a prone pilot was thought to offer the advantages of reduced drag (through elimination of the cockpit bulge) and better resistance to g-force swings when lying flat. In practice the difficulty of operating the controls outweighed these gains, especially after the development of special g-suits, and this plane was never flown solo from the forward, prone position.
