I was on 71MU in 1967 when the last of the Beverlys were flown in and were placed in short term storage, lead free petrol and weekly ground runs on Fridays ,just opposite AMQs !!! Rumours were that Djuiboti Airways wanted them for the pilgrim trade or Shell to transport oil rig bits ,so I think I was running them for about 3 months. I have some interesting pictures of their arrival ,partcularly of the paint schemes.
