The Bristol Buckmaster was an advanced British training aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force during the 1950s. By 1945, there was a gap in performance between the so-called advanced trainers in use – such as the Avro Anson, Airspeed Oxford, Bristol Blenheim and Lockheed Hudson – and the combat aircraft which the pilots would be expected to fly on graduation. A wider front fuselage allowed side-by-side seating for an instructor and trainee and room for a radio operator. All armament and armour and military equipment was also removed.
