So, Beagle is Beagle :)  Cheers Zeb!


Under 'Our History', they mention being "founded in 1956". I've added an intentionally-vague note about that in the corporate chronology. Most reports suggest that BEAGLE didn't exist until 1960. I guess, prior to emerging into plain sight, it took this new subsidiary a few years to get their ducks in a row.

Beagle TG's current emphasis on composites is slightly ironic. After all, it was they would designed out the plastics from their B.242X revision of Miles' M.118 :D


Schneiderman: Thanks for the corrections. I've removed the 'for inflight mtx' ref. In-flight engine maintenance seems to have been something of a fad in the '30s. Presumably the popular press' illustrators added that touch without reference to any detailed drawings from Miles.


I got the bit on the PI26 for the X.11 from Don L. Brown ... whose retrospectives tend to incorporate conspiracy theories about Miles being frozen out by officialdom. On the X.11, Brown's implication was not that the Ministry was unaware of the PI26 ... but rather that they had assumed Miles was unaware of the existence of this then-secret Roll-Royce diesel engine.
