The Beagle Basset 206 is a twin-engine light transport aircraft originally developed and manufactured by the Beagle Aircraft Company in the United Kingdom. In the 1960s, it was widely used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) – entering service in 1965 and designated as the Basset CC.1. The aircraft was involved, among other things, in transporting V-Bomber strategic bomber crews, serving the Queen's Flight, and in training missions at the Empire Test Pilots School and A&AEE in Boscombe Down. It was notable for its wide cabin, allowing comfortable transport of up to eight passengers, as well as above-average range and powerful Rolls-Royce/Continental engines.
