Beverley XB259 at Fort Paull
This picture was scanned from the December 2020 edition of Light Aviation magazine.
A story was run in Light Aviation that Martyn Wiseman (Condor Aviation Int.) had purchased the last remaining Blackburn Beverely C.I (XB259) which has been at Fort Paull, east of Hull, for many years - and due to be scrapped. The project in 2021 was to move it here, reassemble it, and convert it into a high quality rental apartment, retaining the original airframe and cockpit.
Let us hope the project succeeds. There is video of it being dismantled on the Yorkshire Post web-site, dated August 2021.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
