Last minute attempt with Beaver

[The Rat]

In order to get something else done while 'waiting for paint/putty to dry' on other projects, I started on the Airfix DHC-2 a couple of days ago, intending on an OOB build. Then, while looking for detailed photos of British Army Beavers, I came upon the following interesting one. So, what if the Royal Navy had found them to be a good carrier aircraft for various light duties, and took a few Army ones into their inventory? This is probably going to be easier than finishing the Viggenized Vulcan.

That makes sense. They actually trialled a Britten-Norman Islander on HMS Hermes in 1968, the aircraft landing on and taking off without difficulty and using neither the arrestor system nor the catapult, so there was certainly potential interest in this sort of thing.

Fascinating photograph
