I've always like the interwar props especially the chunky Bev. Shame it couldn't find a home somewhere like Middle Wallop,
Seems to be suffering the same fate as our sorry Shackleton Gibraltar fleet.
What connection does the Bev have with Middle Wallop or the AAC? Better would be the Boscombe Down collection at Old Sarum, the A&AEE operated the (last) Beverley and JATE carried out trials with the Beverley out of Old Sarum.
However, I'm sure the costs of moving the thing from Yorkshire to Wallop or Old Sarum would be beyond the abilities of either museum.
