This I am sure ain't right. Collishaw reports that there was no reason the 130 hp Tripes could not be twin gun equipped, in his own autobiography. He later tries N533, with twin guns, and says that there is a definite, though slight, loss of performance above 10,000 feet, the extra firepower was well worth having.
I just don't know if this ship was painted Black Flight style or was that only N4592.
