Red Beech
Red Beech
An original 1946 Beechcraft Operated from it’s home base at Old Buckenham Airfield. The Red Beech is available for filming and airshows throughout the UK and Europe.
Sympathetic restoration
The Red Beech has had several owners, all private individuals or corporations, as such, the aircraft has been sympathetically restored to a classic 1950s executive standard and currently features reclining club seating with fold out card tables and cup holders. The instrument panel has been updated to make operating in the modern world easier and features satnav and autopilot along with modern radios.
Operating a classic aeroplane
With good engineering support, availability of technical knowledge and support of the Beech 18 community we look forward to operating the Red Beech alongside our other classic aircraft for many years.

The Red Beech is often used for what it was designed, international flights, seen here uplifting fuel before departing to Ireland.
The Red Beech has been upgraded with modern instruments and navigation equipment that weren't dreamt of when it was built in 1946.
