Blackburn Beverley - A Condor Aviation Restoration

Condor Aviation is embarking on a two-year restoration project to bring the Blackburn Beverley X-259 back to its former glory. The last of its kind, the Blackburn Beverley was one of the largest planes of its time, with a wingspan of nearly 50 metres and a fuselage capable of carrying more than 30 tonnes of supplies.

Used across Asia and Africa on a range of humanitarian missions, the Blackburn Beverley has had an esteemed military career. We’ve managed to find some cine reel footage of the plane in action - we'll be uploading it to this page as we digitise it. If you’d like to see more, join the Beverley Rivet Club and have access to more than 160 films spanning from 1949 to 1975.
