Ahhhhh! the Beverley

The Beverley ... "Built like a catherdral, and about as fast", as a fellow transportee remarked as we droned for what seemed like years between Singapore and Labuan, to get our hands on "our" Canberras ... There's just not that much to look at over the South China Sea ... How the "Bev" crews stood it I just didn't know, it must have required some very special talents.
Once was e-nuff foe me, Ta very much!

The A400M sounds good as it passes nearly overhead, is clearly faster, and will no doubt be much quieter inside, too. If it sells to Oz, perhaps they'll call it the Amberley ???
