    Aeroplane December 5th 1947 *p.731 - The Slingsby Motor-Tutor was announced - interestingly designated S-28 rather than the currently accepted T.29. About to fly, the first two would be powered by 25hp Coventry Victor engines - it was noted that suitable engines were in short supply. Other engines likely to be used (since the type would be provided in kit form) were the Aero Engines Sprite and the Wren III. It is usually stated that the Motor Tutor first flew in December 1947 with a Scott A2S as the T.29A. And whatever did become of the prototype, later G-AKEY, allegedly sold in the Bahamas in 1962?
    A: 5.12.47 p.731: The Motor Tutor first flew as the T.29A with a Scott Squirrel engine in original B Conditions marks as AB-1. Re-engined with a 37 hp JAP as the T.29B it was marked G-26-1, later becoming G-AKEY. C/n was 544.
