Help Save Blackburn Beverley XB259

The Solway Aviation Museum has launched a £60,000 funding appeal to rescue and preserve the world’s only surviving Blackburn Beverley transport aircraft.

The last of only 49 ever built, the giant Blackburn Beverley was used for troop and cargo transport by the Royal Air Force until 1967.

If you are able to help, please leave a donation on our JustGiving page, using the link below.
