1. Title: "XH123 - The Blackburn B-101 Beverley CMk1 in Flight" 2. Description: This image showcases the Blackburn B-101 Beverley CMk1, specifically the aircraft with the registration number XH123, as it gracefully soars through the sky. The Blackburn B-101 Beverley was a versatile, twin-engine transport aircraft, primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for various roles, including freight transport, paratroop drops, and medical evacuation. 3. History: Designed and manufactured by the Blackburn Aircraft Company in the late 1950s, the Beverley was a significant addition to the RAF's fleet, offering improved performance and flexibility compared to its predecessors. The aircraft's distinctive twin-boom design and high-mounted wings made it easily recognizable among other transport aircraft of the era. 4. Features: The Blackburn B-101 Beverley CMk1 boasted several advanced features for its time, including a pressurized cabin, reversible-pitch propellers, and a large cargo hold that could be easily reconfigured for various missions. The aircraft could carry up to 24 passengers or 12 stretchers and six medical attendants for medical evacuation missions. 5. Legacy: The Blackburn B-101 Beverley served the RAF faithfully from the late 1950s until the early 1990s, when it was eventually replaced by more modern transport aircraft. Despite being retired from military service, the Beverley's legacy lives on as a testament to the innovative design and engineering capabilities of the Blackburn Aircraft Company during the post-World War II era. 6. Technical Details: The Blackburn B-101 Beverley CMk1, XH123, was powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart Mk. 321 engines, each producing 3,450 horsepower. The aircraft had a maximum speed of 255 miles per hour and a range of approximately 1,500 miles. Its length was 103 feet 1 inch, with a wingspan of 114 feet 9 inches, and a height of 31 feet 1 inch.
