The Varsity was a nosewheel aircraft ,I think you mean Valetta which was a tail dragger.

Quite right, I stand corrected.
After poking around the one at Flixton, I was very surprised to see its deck split by a wingspar…not very practical for a military transport, and rather unexpected for one of that (fairly) late vintage.

I hope my comments didn’t offend anyone, I have a great respect of the UK industry, it’s just that seeing a Jeep slung under a plane at that late of date shows a weakness in the RAF inventory.
Especially for a country that was still maintaining colonial responsibilities.
