I think Leisure sport had one DH2 flyer,which is the one for sale and one nonflyer which was at Middle Wallop ( last time i saw it was out the back of the museum. Also there is a Gunbus at Sywell, i believe. This may be the one you saw

Was this the one hung outside Leicester square cinema to promote the film Shout at the Devil? I had a big shock when I saw that , and no camera.

If this is the ex Leisure Sport DH2, its the one we had at Russaiva. When we got it it had a Pobjoy engine. This was taken out and replaced with the Kinner engine, when it was rebuilt for the film “Gunbus”. The Lewis gun was a real one, but not all the metal had been machined out below the magazine drum. The nacell was modified for the film, to make it look like a gunbus. We did fly it in this form. I nearly flew in it, but the oil pressure dropped just before take off. But it did fly next day. Soon after EMK returned it back into the DH2.

This sounds distinctly like the former Leisure Sport machine that has been for sale for a long while.
