The Blackburn B-101 Beverley was a heavy transport aircraft and the only land-based transport aeroplane built by Blackburn, a company that otherwise specialised in naval fighters. It began as the General Aircraft GAL.60 Universal Freighter, drawing on the Hamilcar glider, and Blackburn continued the project after absorbing General Aircraft in the late 1940s. The first prototype made its maiden flight from Brough on 20 June 1950, and at the time it was Britain's second largest landplane after the Bristol Brabazon. After an initial order for 20 aircraft in 1952, the Beverley C.1 reached No. 47 Squadron in March 1956 and was flown by six Transport Command squadrons until 1967, deploying to Kenya, Bahrain and Vietnam. Blackburn won no commercial orders.
