Rippled stability
Former Empire Test Pilots School Beagle Basset VSS XS743 on display in the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection
Converted from a C.1, '743' was the School's Variable Stability System used to provide future Test Pilots with different types of propellor powered flight characteristics on a single platform
Her wings and engines are stored there too
Here she is in her former guise back in 1986

However, I first saw her outside 'Beagles' hangars at Shoreham back in 1967!
