There are many more, (mostly French!) but I tried to stick to British subjects.

Any others that have been beaten with the ugly stick?

Dave, you could have included the Shorts Seamew and a couple of their other contributions. :agree:

IMHO, the Freighter and Gannet have more appeal than the other horrors in your catalogue. :)

Ive always loved these classic designs!
But I have to say I still love the massive size and shape of that girl you named "Beverley" !;-)
Six years ago I found a couple of these and had to bring them home with me. They are 1:200, sorry, :hide:
I hope you dont consider Im going off topic here DaveG...but these were made in the UK, so they are somehow Classic British related, right!;-)?
Wish we had a good FSX Blackburn Beverley though ...!
