I have fond memories of the Blackburn Beverly from when I went inside one as a young teenager at RAF Hendon. This aircraft was sadly scrapped in 1981. I still remember being overwhelmed by the size of it plus the smell of it inside.
The first flight was on the 20th June 1950 (then called the GAL60) this aircraft then evolved into what we know as the Beverly today. A total of 47 were made and only one aircraft survives today at Paull near Hull. They served the RAF well around the world from 1956-67 as a heavy load, short field, dropping aircraft
