dook,

Thanks for redirecting things back to my question. One type in particular intrigues me. Surely the V-force did not want the Basset. I presume there were plenty of Pembrokes, Devons and even Varsities around that could have ferried bomber crews as required. Could a bomber crew actually fit in a Basset? What was the politics of that acquisition?
