My next build will be a bit of a nostalgia rip, especially for my dad who served in the RAF from 1961 to 1985, with his fondest memories flying as a SAC in the belly of this beast, the Blackburn Beverley C1 under 30 Squadron of Transport Command. The man himself, aged just 20 at the time, and a fine example of the fighting fit airmen of the Royal Air Force.....shame the memo was lost in the post on this particular day at RAF Sharjah, just before the Beverley crew was kicked off the airstrip by the base commander for being a "group of scruffy looking airmen." or so the story goes.- 41 replies

Airlift Force RAF Transport Command 1948-1967 ISBN : 978190856310 Guideline Publications It would seem that in RAF service, like life the more Glamorous Fighters, and even bombers get the limelight while other aircraft do their jobs without getting notice.

It is just a pity there is not a Comet there as well. This new book from Guideli -
Hi everybody, I am (hopefully) planning to build a couple of RAF transport aircraft in 1:144 and paint them up in RAF markings for the mid-60's. My first buy will be a HP Hastings operating in Singapore or Borneo; one of the others is likely to be a Beverley. My query is what is the colouring of the lettering above the windows of transports in that period. Is it black, dark blue or light blue etc? If it is blue, does anyone know where I can obtain this kind of lettering for 1:144 scale aircraft please? Also if there are the flash type cheat lines for those aircraft. **edit - does anyon
