The unique Reid & Sigrist RS.4 Desford Trainer, VZ728/G-AGOS also belongs to Strathallan and was flown by John Kelly. This aircraft began life in 1945 as the R.S.3 Desford, and was modified for prone pilot experiments as the R.S.4 Bobsleigh in 1951. It rejoined the civil register five years later, being used for film and aerial survey work.
