Saved?

The last remaining Blackburn Beverley was under threat of being scrapped following the closure of its home at Fort Paull. A rescue plan was put in place which was to see the aircraft moved to Yorkshire to be fitted out as holiday accommodation. This got no further than the aircraft being dismantled but not moved due to the costs involved. Now, however, Solway Aviation Museum have stepped in with a plan to move the aircraft north to their Carlisle based site for reassembly and restoration. Funds are still required and an appeal has been launched but it sounds more encouraging. Hopefully it can get back to looking as it was when I last saw it alnost 10 years ago.
