1st production Beverley. First flew 29 January 1955. Registered G-AOAI 15 March 1955, cancelled 30 March 1955 upon transfer to the RAF as XB259. Struck off charge13 March 1973. Now the last extant Beverley. When photographed it was wearing Royal Aircraft Establishment titles (and some very tired looking dayglo orange).
