Looking at the EDIN yearly dividend figures linked to earlier, which are shown underneath the dividend-chart in the URL below, that's only showing a drop of -16.23%?

Oh dear, you are correct of course!
The table should actually look like this ....
Year-End | HYP | +/- | TMPL | +/- | EDIN | +/-
05-Apr-20 | 14,675.24 | | 9,937.29 | | 11,193.90 |
05-Apr-21 | 8,566.45 | -41.63% | 7,444.44 | -25.09% | 11,014.95 | -1.60%
05-Apr-22 | 11,518.06 | 34.46% | 7,637.80 | 2.60% | 11,331.36 | 2.87%
Thank you so much for pointing out my error which was caused by not properly calculating the "Speciai" of last year which is now correctly listed as withdrawn income. There will now follow several hours of checking my two "virtual" portfolio workbooks!
Incidentally, the Investment Trust holdings are calculated by assuming that the funds for every purchase of the original HYP shares were used to purchase the Investment Trust - same amount invested, same date. The dividends are calculated from that start point as and when they are announced and paid.
