Take a look at back issues of 'Aeroplane Monthly' for about 25 or 30 years ago; a chap called Roy C Nesbit wrote a large number of illustrated articles about Beauforts in it.

Dad was with 48 Squadron and trained in St Eval Jun 1940. I think trouble with engines so Squadron continued with Ansons

Just for interest
