Can anyone identify the script font used in this image? Bonus points for telling me it is a free font that I can download from somewhere!

Mistral

I don't know where you can get it for free, but it comes with Office, typically.

For future reference, WhatTheFont (linked to in sciurus's link) is good at guessing fonts when the text design is simple. Even though it only guessed using the B and s (connected letters might be confusing it), it says the font is Mistral LET or Mistral.

Man, that Mistral sure is ugly. But, of course, every typeface does have its use (in 1981).

Dear God. Please don't EVER use Mistral for anything. Ever.

Look, I hate it with a passion, but when it has been sold to somebody who passes themself off as a graphic designer to use as a business logo and then that business has invested big bucks in reproducing it on everything from signage to stationary, I'm not going to get very far telling them their logo sucks bigtime.
