Nick Johns Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Do hope someone gives this this poor old aircraft a safe home, it was sold when the military museum closed at Beverley, now its being evicted from Fort Paul https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/gilbert-baitson/catalogue-id-ibgi10619/lot-de133d6c-3cbe-44b4-bf34-ac0600cb36d7?fbclid=IwAR1IBJMxA68E2uCDChytitzPvjbTtrHwBkdQ0yOSL1dA7q3_8bQ7V6OXNGg Edited August 26, 2020 by Nick Johns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yes, we saw that but the lots we like would be expensive to send. We did wonder about a grouo of us getting together and taking a van up there if we won multiple lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Is this a good thing or bad thing? Positive its been saved from scrap but an AirBnB? I suppose as he says the costs to restore and maintain aren't commercially viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So do I get this right, crowdfund in order to raise £100k so he can move it, refurb it and then make money from hiring it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtskull Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In an ideal world the aircraft would be fully restored and preserved as original but at least this way it will continue to exist and, as long as it exists then restoration to original remains a possibility, should a future generation appreciate such things.

Rootes75 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 An old thread but I recall watching huge lots of Military Handbooks in this auction. I was wondering if anyone has any idea of where they all went? Collectors, dealers or anyone on the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Of course if you make a Beverley into a holiday let, it needs all the facilities, heating lighting and flushing loo etc, plus all those health and safety features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that Duxford would have wanted it, they’ve enough large aircraft sitting outside to keep them busy for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
