How does this fit the explanation given above?
It does not. The Bulldog indeed has a Both position. The fuel selector in front of P1 (in an RAF Bulldog) has L, Both, R and Off. As a matter of interest, if you leave the selector is Both with the aircraft on a slope you will rise fuel being syphoned from one side to the other.
