The Parasol first flew during 1930, two being built in quick succession and both going to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough in September and October. The standard height for measurement flights was about 8,000 ft (2,400 m) and the supercharged engine took the aircraft to this altitude in a little over 12 minutes.
