Bristol Beaufort Mk.I L9866, RAF No.217 Squadron, St Eval, Cornwall, Attack against German Cruiser Admiral Hipper, 1st February 1941.
As arguably Britain's most capable maritime strike aircraft, the Bristol Beaufort was charged with carrying a heavy burden during the early years of the war, particularly when the RAF were engaged in targeting German surface raiders putting into port at Brest for repair and replenishment. Having already taken a heavy toll of Allied shipping during a previous Atlantic patrol, the mighty Admiral Hipper had successfully completed a period of repair in Brest and was almost ready to return to sea once more by the end of January 1941, something the RAF could not allow.

Bristol Beaufort Mk.I L9866，英國皇家空軍第 217 中隊，St Eval，Cornwall，攻擊德國巡洋艦 Admiral Hipper，1941 年 2 月 1 日。
作為可以說是英國最有能力的海上攻擊機，布里斯托爾博福特號在戰爭初期肩負著沉重的責任，尤其是當英國皇家空軍瞄准進入布雷斯特港口進行維修和補給的德國水面突襲機時。 強大的希佩爾海軍上將號在之前的一次大西洋巡邏中已經對盟軍航運造成重大損失，它在布雷斯特成功完成了一段時間的維修，幾乎準備好在 1941 年 1 月底再次出海，這是英國皇家空軍無法做到的 允許。
