: Hi All
: Just received my copy of April 04 Flypast and they report
: that the sole surviving Beverley at the Museum of Army Tra
: nsport will not be going to the Yorkshire Air Museum at El
: vington but that the highest sealed bid came from Fort Pau
: ll Armouries at Hull.

: I am unaware of this facility and the article states that
: the only major aviation artifact currently on site is a SA
: L Bulldog cockpit so I wonder what experience the people i
: nvolved have, in looking after such a major airframe?
:
: Also, there is no mention as to whether or not she will be
: displayed under cover and and Hull being coastal, I fear
: that we could be discussing the demise of this airframe in
: a few years time!

: Here's hoping that my fears will be unfounded...
