Gary, if you were intending the link to be you answer I guess you linked to the right aircraft.
The Blackburn B-101 Beverley is correct.
My Great Uncle Norman (Blackburn) used to call the Beverley "The Fat Lady".
Gary Baker, the floor is now yours and thankyou for playing.
Best regards,
Cris "Grizzly" Blackburn, Maj. (Ret) USAF

F2H Banshee?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_F2H_Banshee I should have known this one earlier: My dad flew these, and I have a credit in the book "Mills, Carl. Banshees in the Royal Canadian Navy. Willowdale, Ontario: Banshee Publication, 1991. ISBN 0-9695200-0-X.".
