  • Classic Beech 18

    Another classic aircraft paid a visit to the 'Field during the week

    The Victorian based Beech 18 in its original "tail dragger" configuration looked substantially different to the nose-wheel version model as mentioned in this months' Week One news page

    There is only a handful of these classic aircraft still operating, most are now in museums "on loan" similar to the Beech 18 at the Drage Airworld Wangaratta

    From 1937 to 1969 in its various models and "marks" the Beech 18 was in production longer than any other aircraft in aviation history
