Never got see a real Beverley, a sort of Hercules from the early '50s but have fond memories of the A40. It was based on the floor pan and components of the...
No problems with the rings but the valves are a bit sticky which I believe is a common problem with B31s. The only other problem is spitting back when on tick...
The 48 ton monster was one of a kind and could probably carry every motorcycle owned by every member of this forum with ease, as it did with other aircraft...
There is still one complete Blackburn Beverly to be seen. It's XB259 of 1955 vintage and it is located at Fort Paull to the east of Kingston-upon-Hull. This...
Well that is good news Geoff, pity it is pretty much unknown to most of us (at least those not living in UK now) and amazing that it took the army to secure...
Hi Brian, It would be great to meet up. Dependant upon 'other commitments' I am off on 6th & 9th. Must admit that I have never been to the RAF museum. They...
I noticed a little oil dripping and tightened the nuts a little. 1 nut is turning, but not tightening. The stud is not moving with it. How should I proceed...

'twas not that I had no interest Gary, it is that I only have experience of Monobloc & Type 6 carbs with our 1952 Flash. Been too many places, talking to so...
Trying to locate one now, but in the meanwhile, how can I get the front to work. Would I connect the 2 wires going to the back together? The switch has broke...

Hi, All. I am getting myself ready to replace the sump plate mouting studs. I am hesitant to do this but 2 are stripped and I can never achieve a tight fit...
Be aware, the one's I have dealt with are 1/4" 26 Tpi which is a British Cycle thread I believe. Removing the old studs can be dangerous as the cases can...
