In its original form this was the first of two Westland P.8 Lysander prototypes, and later it was brought to Mk.I standard. Thereafter it was fitted with two 20 mm (0.787 in) cannons, one mounted above each wheel fairing. In this form it was used in trials intended to attack German invasion barges. As shown in the picture K6127 was extensively modified to another intended form of strafing power against ships or ground troops. The fuselage was shortened 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in) to 7.85 m (25 ft 9 in) and a tail turret mock-up (to carry four guns) was fitted. A second wing (de Lanne type) with full-span elevators and twin endplate fins and rudders, was fitted beneath the fuselage, just in front of the turret. This increased the wing area from 24.15 sq.m (260 sq.ft) to 36.46 sq.m (392 sq.ft). Flown by the company’s test pilot Harold Penrose it handled well, however none were ordered. The aircraft is also known as "Wendover" and "Tandem Wing".
