The prototype Balliol was powered by a Bristol Mercury engine because of delays with the turboprops intended to power it. The next two prototypes had Armstrong Siddeley Mamba turboprops and VL892 was later fitted with one. The production aircraft, the Balliol T.2, was powered by the proven RR Merlin.

Operated by 205 Sqn. It remained with the squadron until at least 1955 (photographed at Seletar) and maybe as late as 1959 when Shackletons replaced the last Sunderlands. At the time of the photo, 205 Sqn would have been operating out of Koggala in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Photo from: Imperial War Museums
