First delivered to the RAF in January 1952. On 25 Mar 1976 this Varsity was flown to Sibson, Peterborough, UK (together with Varsity WJ909 c/n 575), to be used as a clubhouse or a diner. These plans did not materialise and the aircraft was stored there until in 1984 the Nene Valley Aviation Society took it under its care. It remained preserved at Sibson for four more years until delivered from there to the Brooklands Museum on 13 Nov 1988.

For this trip I borrowed a 10-22 mm lens as there were many aircraft at the Newark Air Museum to experiment with. In the end I was convinced that such a small lens is indeed a very useful addition to my kit.

Wearing its original military colours and just a very small civil registration under the tailplane, this Varsity gets ready to taxi for take-off. G-BEDV is often incorrectly said to be c/n 619, but that is WJ895. The c/n for WJ945 is unknown.

This Varsity is part of the Allies in Berlin exhibition adjacent to TXL, not to be confused with the Allied Museum in Zehlendorf. It's run by the friendly biker-style Cafe Hangar-Tegel. From their terrace you can photograph landing aircraft for Rwy 26R.
