The photo Q-P published of the engine in the mud is definitely not from a Bev,or Hastings,Varsity/Valetta as it appears to have the `tappets` in situ,and everyone knows that Brissell Hercules/Centarus were sleeve-valved.Possibly a P&W or Wright, of a Dak,Catalina,Sunderland.Somebody will know !
Later; Tim, as the Andover 644 was painted in an experimental grey/green/grey scheme,it may be they tried it on the J-P first,as it was going to the dump eventually,if it didn`t work.....looks a lot better than that pukey sand /black and a white roof...
