It was expected to reach 310 knots and climb on one engine to 12,000 ft. It was fitted with Centaurus IV's (derated) it was also fitted with A.I. This aircraft was built as a B.1, some B.1's were converted by the RAF as training aircraft for radar navigators. Some 600 were to be trined on Brigands. The Brigand survived in RAF use until March 1958 and was the last piston engined attack aircraft in service with the RAF. 147 Brigands were built, holding the fort in tropical climes where wooden aircraft were unsuitable.
