... Q1: What is that aircraft? Q2: Is that a detactable pod? A1: It is a Blackburn Beverley, there is a colour picture showing a full aircraft at:- http://www.planeboys.de/gww/raf/raf_1/beverley.htm A2: It is not a detachable pod It was sort of a forerunner to the Hercules but with the cargo area split into two levels. A troop, paratrooper or freight carrier with a rough field capability. -- Andrew "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible." (Lord Kelvin, president, Royal Society, 1895.) |

That is a Blackburn Beverly C1 of the Royal Air Force and no, it is not a detachable pod. http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/types/uk...y/Beverley.htm ....will tell you almost everything you would wish to know. What it will not tell you is, if you are paratrooping from this aircraft and you are to be the first man out of the door on the lower deck, you can watch the wheels go round as you trundle along at 600 to 800 feet, waiting for the green light for "GO".

You are correct. The Yanks are not in the wooden boat league.
