Beverley Jump Plane

Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever jumped a Beverley or know anything about them? I guess Im going to be talking to old timer military jumpers here as they died out in the 60's.
Seems to be a great plane though, basically a SkyVan on drugs. See attached pics - used to carry 2 light tanks or 70 paratroopers (inc 30 in the tail section!)
Ive been in one in a museum and the pilots sit above you an a second floor to allow for more cargo space in and out of the rear exit.

That's insane.
Just my $0.02, how good of a spot can you get with it? I get the feeling that if you were on the upper level and the last to get out, you would walk back to the DZ.
