A fundraising campaign has been launched by a small museum in Cumbria which wants to provide a permanent home to the world’s last surviving Blackburn Beverley. A project to dismantle and move the giant aircraft from the former military museum at Fort Paull near Hull has stalled and the plane was in danger of being scrapped. Solway Aviation Museum, based at Carlisle Airport, has come to the rescue - but needs to raise £60,000.
The appeal will help fund the lifting and transport costs for the huge sections of aircraft, as well as ground preparation of the new site.
