Hi Brian. There were many beaufighter models. i have a copy of the crash log which states "On the TFX in the event of an ngine failure after takeoff, the safety speed at full load (including a torpedo) was a horrendous 170 knots."
The TFX had Hercules radial engines. They built 1000 TFX's.
Those boys did not have nice, easily managed equipment.
