Last remaining Beverley

[texaxile]

Hi,
Just watched an interesting YT vid on the Blackburn Beverley, apparently there's only one left which was previously on display at Fort Paull near Hull and has been dismantled and is awaiting to be, or has been re assembled at RAF Ricall. Does anyone know if it is now on display at all?, as there's no info that I can find online.

I'm heading up to Selby in Feb, if it's close by I'll make a worthwhile detour.

Apologies for the typo in the topic title.

I think there is at least one thread here that me too s this topic. The fact that there’s no ‘news’ after the aircraft was moved means to me that it’s probably awaiting rebuild at its new home. Don’t make a detour!

The owners were planning on converting it into an Air BnB venue. Not sure if that has actually happened.

Thanks for replies Gents.

I can't help but feel slightly saddened at the lack of news, seems like my Selby trip won't be as much fun as I thought.
