| AOP.6 was developed from the Mk 5 and powered by a 108êW Gipsy Major 7 engine. Modified fuselage and increased all-up weight. All-metal auxiliary aerofoil flaps below and behind trailing edge, and wings strengthened to take two 52.25 litre fuel tanks. Pilot and observer seated in tandem. Lengthened landing gear struts allowed larger airscrew. Production completed in 1949. T.7 was a two-seat trainer which could be quickly converted to full AOP standard. Side-by-side seating with dual controls. Third seat could be fitted. AOP.9 had a 134kW Cirrus Bombardier 203 (military version of 702) engine.

| David Harris, e-mail, 16.02.2011 00:12 I do indeed have a photograph.
The Army registration for the aircraft was XP254 reply | | David Harris, e-mail, 23.02.2010 01:18 I believe the aircraft in the photo is actually the Beagle Mk Eleven, three seater AOP that first flew in 1961. I saw it at Shoreham Airport at that time...I believe I actually have a phograph of it somwhere. reply |
