| Reverse description | The reverse features two technical orthographic views of the Bristol Beaufighter twin-engine heavy fighter aircraft: a side-profile view in the upper portion of the field and a detailed plan view from above occupying the lower portion. The aircraft's distinctive twin-radial-engine configuration, twin-tail assembly, and broad wings are rendered with precision. The inscription 'BRISTOL BEAUFIGHTER' appears in the left field alongside the aircraft plan view, while the arc legend 'HISTORY OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE' curves along the upper periphery and 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the lower border, all separated by a raised inner ring. |
