VH-KDK 25,896 Report post #1 Posted April 8, 2017 On the 8th of April 1967, 50 years ago today, the Beagle Pup made it's first flight from Shoreham Airport. Just over 2 1/2 years later the Government withdrew it's financial backing and Beagle Aircraft went under despite having over 200 on order.. Here is Henry Ford's nightmare, an array of Pups in various colours except black. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stillwater 8,830 Report post #8 Posted April 8, 2017 Congrats to your 50th birthday, Paul-@VH-KDK! Or better: Thanks for that nice livery collection. You changed clothes more often that a female presenter during the Oscar award ceremony. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Sawyer 29,202 Report post #10 Posted April 8, 2017 Nice collection of a neat looking little plane Martyn. It's a shame they never mass produced them as they look like a nice, simple little plane to fly, they look almost like a miniature Cherokee. And the last two shots of hit flying are superb, only thing lacking for me was a shot of the office.

Quite a roomy plane but more complex to build and troubles with supply of spares. On 8/04/2017 at 11:23 PM, jury42 said: Nice set! Thankyou Jury. Thanks for your wonderful comments and interest.
