JETs Vol. 25-41 + Air Drops AD701: Beverley C Mk.1

We're rounding out 2025 with a very special release: The Blackburn Beverley! In all the years we have been hunting aircraft parts, the skin used for this release is the only bit of Beverley we have ever encountered. 

The Blackburn Beverley emerged in the early 1950s as Britain’s answer to a growing postwar need for heavy tactical airlift, reflecting Royal Air Force lessons from World War II and the demands of a shrinking empire. Designed around an immense, box-like fuselage, high-mounted wings, and a rear clamshell loading door, the Beverley prioritized payload and ruggedness over speed, enabling it to haul outsized cargo, vehicles, and troops into austere forward airstrips. Entering RAF service in 1956, it became a workhorse of global operations, supporting garrisons and humanitarian missions across the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East during a period of frequent colonial emergencies. Though slow and noisy, the aircraft earned respect for its reliability, long endurance, and versatility - often operating where more modern transports could not. By the mid-1960s, advances in turboprop technology rendered the Beverley obsolete, and it was retired in 1967, leaving behind a legacy as one of the RAF’s most distinctive and capable heavy lifters of the early Cold War era.

JETs Vol. 25-41 has been cut from a fuselage skin panel that was cut from Beverley C Mk.1 XB288. It featured the registration/serial number and is offered in 2 variants: White and Black/White. The White are all or mostly white. The Black/White feature portions of the XB288 stenciling. Only 53 total JETs are available. 

AD701 was cut from the same panel. Sheet 1 (future Sheets TBD) are all exterior skin Air Drops and only a handful are available. They ship in our Slider one-piece 3D printed card. 

A JETs/Air Drops combo is available that comes with a Black/White JET and an Air Drop. 

AD701 kicks off Series 7 of Air Drops. If you'd like to secure all of Series 7 (16 total Air Drops) ahead of time, you can pre-order them with this release at a discounted price. They will ship after we release all of Series 7 (around the end of February). ALL SERIES 7 FULL SERIES AIR DROPS WILL SHIP WITH DISPLAY STANDS. 

2025 has been an excellent year for JE and we are chuffed to close it out with the Beverley. See you in 26!
