Abingdon 66 Alan,gerrin on our chalk,that old beauty,the Blackburn Beverley,HAPPY DAYS!

It always bugged me that I was so much of a sprog that I missed both the C47 and the Beverley Managed the Argosy, which I thought was abetter (more civilized) aircraft than the C130. Even a few from the Andover. The Beverley would have been great. Some of the old sweats I remember talking about the Hastings

Wonder if anyone saved a Beverley??

Re: A womans place

Loved going out of the Boom aperture of the Beverley. Like sitting in an armchair. Hated Hastings as I got a strop burn going out of them and did a couple of rivet inspections on exiting. The Argosy was great. Allowed to smoke in them. Just a run out of the door too.

Did my wings in the c130 but then they were withdrawn cos of all the rivet inspections and we went back to Argosy's and then I did the trials in Cyprus on the adapted C130's.

What year was that? Does anyone remember the sgt and the sprog that got entwinned coming out of a Hurc? I think it was due to the sgt -punching - out of the Hurc, as in Argosy exit. Getting blown under the aircraft and both chutes wrapping around each other. Both of them died if I remember rightly.....

Re: A womans place

I was back there in 2006, saw some of the marker pegs stating here is where seat number .... was found. which really meant the body. The plane actually started to break up and was spread across the country from Newcastle. Visited the wall of rememberance at Dryfesdale Cemetery, very touching.
