Westland tandem Lysander
What is the provenance of the story that George Miles saw the tandem Lysander at Boscombe Down? In his autobiography Adventure with Fate, Westland test pilot Harald Penrose records that "the tandem version of the Lysander was completed at Yeovil" (p.199). &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 04:33, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * An edit comment refers to a source "Mason". This appears to be the Profile Publications No. 159. According to Mason, the prototype Lysander was transferred to a subcontractor in Hove to complete the modification. I find this hard to believe; Hove is on the South Coast near Brighton, right in the firing line of the Battle of Britain and the opposite side of the country from Yeovil. Otherwise, Mason's entire discussion of this aircraft is a mere two column inches. Penrose is perfectly clear that it was test flown at his usual stamping ground of Yeovil - by himself. There appears to be some coverage in the June 1990 edition of Aeroplane Monthly, if anybody reading this can lay your hands on a copy. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 05:09, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Aha, traced the story to Capt. Eric Brown; "The Lovelorn Libellula", Air Enthusiast Five, 1977. 58-62, 77. Case closed. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 05:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)


 * An aircraft can be built at the manufacturer, or a sub-contractor, and also (once complete) be seen at a different airfield on a different date. In this case the airfield where most aircraft considered for service use were evaluated at some point in their life. GraemeLeggett (talk) 09:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
