I certainly remember seeing a Djinn at BEAS - from my various times at Kidlington it was either mid 68 or more likely it was late 70 or very early 71. I also have this vague recollection that Mike Orme was flying it but could well be wrong on that score after all this time.

Edit: thread drift but just had this flashback of a BEAS engineer doing a mag check on a customer's Brantly and suddenly noticing he was almost level with the adjacent hangar roof.......
