Bristol Brigand 8 Squadron Post War Strike Aircraft Aviation Art Pencil Drawing by Artist Graham Henderson GAvA
Developed as a
replacement for the highly successful multi-role Bristol Beaufighter, the
Bristol Brigand entered service too late to see action in WWII but would see
service in the conflicts in Malaya and Kenya.
147 aircraft were
produced and served until 1958. This particular aircraft comes from 8 Squadron,
which operated the type from 1949-1952
