Bevel oh dere

Thanks Nigel, memory dims but I was on 105 Argosies at the time & remember every flight and event with a Belvedere was worth watching, after the starter fires and other incidents at Khormaksar the Beaver was just the icing on the cake, 26 Sqd offered "round the bay" flights to station personel but don't remember many take ups better to watch from afar than risk life & limb !, guess shouldn't knock them too much as they did eventually do sterling work during Radfan, maybe a bit before it`s time, who can guess what a bit of development could have done PH.
