Hello Everyone * Please note this is from the 40’s that this plane had the accident nobody was killed*
iam researching pilot John Raymond Senior who crashed his MAGISTAR L8355 into a lake in the U.K

Hello Christopher, there are a couple of photos of the recovery in 1974 from Ullswater in ‘ Air Crashes in the Lake District ‘ M.J.Hurst, Airlife, 1997. One is of one of the instrument panels, the other is of all the wreckage recovered and assembled together, pages 11 and 12. Regards, James.

Please add a date to any thread title with the word “crash” in it.
It saves people from being alarmed with the possibility of the loss of a community member.

Thank you

There wasn’t much left of the plane when it came out. Due to its wood and fabric construction it had largely rotted away. I think the instrument panel and other bits are still on display somewhere. I saw them a few years ago but can’t recall now where that was.
