Boulton Paul Defiant Mark I
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1940-1944, Cosford, Hangar Two, 74/A/16
The Defiant introduced a new tactical concept in two-seat RAF fighter design by concentrating all armament in a four-gun turret behind the cockpit. During the Battle of Britain, it proved no match for German fighters and was quickly withdrawn from daylight operations and moved to a night-fighter role.
