    I think B-24 driver would be more familiar with the Beech AT11 Kansan which is a very close relative but a little more warlike with bomb aimer’s perspex amongst other features.

    yes, you are right and they were tail draggers not tri-gear

    Not sure but thought the tri-gear Beech 18’s came out in the 60’s…………thought our blue one would have been more like the type you trained in but like i said, not sure.

    it is a shame to keep her outside

    fantastic covers, about £3000 worht so they gotta be good.

    it would probably take us about 2 hours to get a wing off

    we would need to undo about 50 screws on each wing, remove 2 wing bolts, aileron cables and electricals would also need to be disconnected.

    not difficult but in this weather we would freeze out bits off.

    Last Saturday at about 9:00 and minus 4 degrees C

    the other pics are of our Beech G-BKRN “Out in the Cold”

    I guess your Beech is a kind of memorial to the guys that flew from Dunkeswell – I guess flying her into there would be more in rememberance of the guys that flew and died operating from there than the guys that run the museum.

    absolutely correct………………

    It would be great if the Beech could return to Dunkeswell at some point.
    Skyblue Aviation’s Beech 18, based at Exeter, is a occasional visitor to the fly-ins staged at the airfield. It would be nice to see both together.

    we were asked very nicely by the chaps at the dunkeswell memorial/museum to paint/mark our Beech as one based at dunkeswell……………..we did and that was the last we ever heard from them……………..not even a thanks very much chaps.

    probably won’t be taking our beech to dunkeswell
