Which Harrow are you talking about- the HP31 torpedo carrier or HP54
bomber?

Only a single HP31 was ever completed and that was in 1926 so it hardly
fiits
the bill.


I don't know about the airfoil question but the HP54 in 1940
was used as an aerial minelayer in operation "Pandora". These aircraft
carried LAMs (Long Aerial Mines) which were small explosives on
parachutes that trailed a 2,000 ft piano wire. They were dropped in
front of the German bombers and at least 5 kills were made before the
idea was scrapped.

The HP-54 was mainly used as a transport with the last flight
re-equipping with Dakota's in May 1945
