The general opinion around the camp was that the Bevs were 'Blocks of Flats with wings' and that they were SO ugly that the Earth repelled them rather than the wings generating enough lift to get them airborne. 

Typical Blackburn Aircraft then

With BEVERLEYS? 
Need a bit of a time warp there I reckon..........

Turbine jobs. And hey, with a bit of scribbling you never know, Besides, the 80s weren`t that far off back then ! And the Herc is still flying 40 years later with no end in sight

I had a dream last week I asked Sam to get me an HP Hastings model as a birthday present, but she brought home an awful old-mould Airfix Beverley...?!

In the Britmodeller thread several members petitioned for an Argosy and the Micro-Mir member is making very promising overtures.  Fingers crossed.

I wouldn't mind the Beverley being scaled up to 1/72nd scale

[Mossie]

That would be lovely, although the Micro-Mir member said they don't have the technology for large moulds.  He mentioned something about a Ukrainian firm asking about a 3D model (3D Printing?) in 1/72, although that's possibly related to the Argosy.

I wonder if the Argosy wold have parts for both civil and military versions?  Since they're doing the Beverley and Argosy, it would be nice to round of the post-war British military transports with a Belfast.

From the Micro-Mir member at Britmodeller in response to a request for a Handley Page Hastings:

We plan to closely engage the British transport aircraft.

Hm, I wonder how large a 1/144 scale of the Rock of Gibralter would be...........

AAA or Mig's ? 

[Captain Canada]

Funny stuff ! The Beverly in the link looks awesome ! Love 144th scale

If it's a Beverley, wouldn't an elephant gun be more appropriate?

Naah, a punt-gun.

LOL - there's an excellent display of, and about, punt guns in the Royal Armouries at Leeds: it's priceless watching people's faces as they watch the video and listening to the kids, "he's hunting those tiny little birds with that HUGE gun? What the Hell?"

I've seen one being fired 'for real'.   He's hunting ALL of those tiny little birds in one shot.    The gun I saw being used had a powder scoop to pour a mighty  black powder charge  into the muzzle, and took about 10 minutes to reload.
