The 'RAF Brit' at Cosford.

Its interesting to note that the said 'RAF Brit', unlike an actual RAF Brit has a full size main deck cargo door so its actually a civilian Brit painted in RAF colours

Actually, its a 312F, G-AOVF ex BOAC and a lot of other smaller airlines. I know that to be true as I signed the C of C for its last flight into Cosford. I honestly believed that it didn't want to go as it kept throwing up difficult electrical problems that delayed its delivery, e.g. no reverse on the props. Something the captain, John Ginns, insisted on having due to the short length of the runway. Quite right too!.
