Fort Paull exhibit doubts after museum's sudden closure
21 January 2020
The future of a Blackburn Beverley aircraft and a 12ft (3.7m) model of a dinosaur
has been cast into doubt after a museum's sudden closure.
Fort Paull is a gun battery and fort on the north bank of the Humber Estuary a few miles east of Hull,
that has been a museum for 20 years.
In a statement the fort said "due to unforeseen circumstances"
it would not be reopening after its winter closure.
Former museum curator Wally Duggan said the plane was the "last of its type."
Mr Duggan, of the closed Beverley Museum of Army Transport
here the Blackburn Beverley had been displayed, said:
"It isn't something you put in your back garden
but they were marvellous and served all over the world.
