That second aircraft pictured is still known affectionately as "The Beagle".

The story, as told to me by the old timer flight testers, goes as such...

Management desired to have the marketing name (S76B Eagle) emblazoned on the cowlings. Unfortunately the painter left a bit too much space between the "6" and the "B", and was a little close on the "B" and the "E".

Apparently, all the flight testers got a good laugh when they saw their new

"S76 BEagle"
