1st of type on AC !
30 Sea Balliols were produced and served with 781 squadron at Lee-on-Solent and 1843 Squadron RNVR at Abbotsinch. The last one was delivered in December 1954
The Merlin powered Balliol, designated Balliol T.2, first flew on 10 July 1948 and after extensive evaluation, it was chosen over the Athena, with large orders being placed to replace some of the Harvards in RAF service.
The Sea Balliol T.21 had folding wings and arrestor hook for deck landings.
By 1951, however, the Air Ministry changed its mind about its training requirements yet again and decided to introduce a jet-powered advanced trainer, the de Havilland Vampire T.Mk11.
