Overtaken by events, it was built in small numbers and was used primarily for transport and <a href="/wiki/Liaison_aircraft" title="Liaison aircraft">liaison</a> duties. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_and_development">Design and development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bristol_Buckingham&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Design and development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In early 1939 Bristol suggested a bomber variant of the <a href="/wiki/Beaufighter" class="mw-redirect" title="Beaufighter">Beaufighter</a> with their Hercules engines. British policy at the time was for medium bombers to be obtained from the US allowing British industry to concentrate on heavy bomber designs; nonetheless a design was requested preferably based on an existing aircraft. This meant working with the Beaufighter or <a href="/wiki/Bristol_Beaufort" title="Bristol Beaufort">Beaufort</a>. Bristol worked on their design first as the <b>Bristol Type 161</b> then the <b>Type 162 Beaumont</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-Buttler2004p88_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buttler2004p88-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Air Ministry specification B.7/40 called for a medium bomber to replace the <a href="/wiki/Bristol_Blenheim" title="Bristol Blenheim">Blenheim</a>. The specification stipulated a speed of at least 300 mph at 5,000 ft, a normal load of 1,000 lb of bombs and a centre turret armed with at least two 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) machine guns. Only one manufacturer (Armstrong Whitworth) tendered a full design but it did not meet with approval.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> So when Bristol brought their Type 162 ("tentatively named Beaumont"), which was well matched to B.7/40, to the Air Staff, the company received a request to complete a mockup in 1940 and then a confirmed contract for three prototypes in February 1941. The Beaumont was based on the rear fuselage and tail of a Beaufighter, with a new centre and front fuselage. The armament was a mid-upper turret with four machine guns, with four more machine guns firing forward and two firing to the rear. </p><p>Construction began in late 1940, with a new <a href="/wiki/Air_Ministry_Specification" class="mw-redirect" title="Air Ministry Specification">Air Ministry Specification</a> B.2/41 to be written around it. Changes in the requirements, removing dive bombing and "direct army support" which incoming US bombers were expected to be capable of and increasing the performance to allow for the future, meant the Beaumont would no longer suffice. The changes in performance (requiring a bomb load of 4,000 lb, a speed of 360 mph and a range of 1,600 miles) meant a redesign by Bristol to use the <a href="/wiki/Bristol_Centaurus" title="Bristol Centaurus">Bristol Centaurus</a> engine.<sup id="cite_ref-Buttler2004p88_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buttler2004p88-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Bristol redesign with a larger wing and the more powerful engines was the <b>Type 163 Buckingham</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-Buttler2004p88_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buttler2004p88-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It had gun installations in the nose, dorsal and ventral turrets. Generally conventional in appearance, one unusual feature was that the bomb-aimer/navigator was housed in a mid-<a href="/wiki/Fuselage" title="Fuselage">fuselage</a> ventral gondola, resembling those on the earlier German <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_111" title="Heinkel He 111">Heinkel He 111</a>H and American <a href="/wiki/Boeing_B-17" class="mw-redirect" title="Boeing B-17">Boeing B-17</a>C and -D in appearance.<sup id="cite_ref-Winchester2005p95_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Winchester2005p95-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This was part of an attempt to give all the crew positions unobstructed views and access to each other's positions.
