That question is comprehensively covered in Tom Wenham's book "False Dawn - The Beagle Aircraft Story" (published by Air-Britain) which I recommend despite the price. Sadly it is not well covered in "Flight Path", the biography of Peter Masefield, who was the driving force behind Beagle in its early days.
