  • Yes we had four of these in the RAF Easleigh, Nairobi airbase. When you've done guard-duty under these giants, this video brings tears to your eye's!"

  • @Grifiki Yes mate i understand what you are saying.

  • My cousin and I were in the ATC in 1964 and we flew in one from RAF Abingdon on an air experience flight, mainly circuits and bumps but all good fun. We used to sit on a box on the flight deck for takeoffs and landings. RAF Abingdon was 10 miles away and we used to cycle. We also went on parachute drops over RAF Benson or Weston on the Green. I think at the time we had the most air experience hours of our squadron by far. Good memories.

  • @MrRose49 Those were the days mate.

  • You are right about the music but it was in the clip so i could do nothing about it,so thanks for watching.

see all

  • what a monster !!! Would love to do the type training for this bird

  • My late father was a Loadmaster on one of these beasts in Aden 1967...

  • Does anyone remember southend's historic aviation museum's beverley? I think that was actually scrapped, but it was a lovely example.

  • No I was in 1861 Wantage ATC, just been told there is one at East Midlands Aircraft Museum

  • @MrRose49 So were you in 150 City of Oxford ATC Squadron based in Marston? I was in as soon as I was old enough and was always after flights at Abingdon, Colerne, Lyneham etc. My auntie lived right under the flight path at Abingdon and I'll swear a Bev clouted her TV aerial once ... I was 17 in '64 so had left to join the RAF. Good days.

  • to fort paull near paull

  • its moved

    

  • fixed landing gear :)

  • OMG, I blocked in one of these on Okinawa in the early 60's. The crew chief took me for a tour of her. Never saw another until this day ( 2011 ) She is still beautiful. Thanks for sharing, it brought back a time almost forgotten.

  • Its at Fort Paul now
