Thanks guys --- I only brought this up again because of the article I've just read. Really interesting it was and the life history of all the aircraft that were built proved that it was a sound idea. I wrote back to the Air-Britain Editor after reading the article and showed him a couple of pics of the model with an explanation of why I did it, his response was 'maybe the engine change would have made the Beagle a better seller', or words to that effect --- Reading further along in this latest A-B issue there's a bit about Beagles too, a spec written up for the RAF. It says the aircraft was 'under-powered' ---
