I’ve just re-discovered an old Modern Boy Album of Up-to-Date Aeroplanes from 1930. The second entry is for the Westland Wizard which I have googled and found some info on. However the serial no. on the picture in the book
reads J-9172 which seems to belong to a Fairey IIIF. Of course it is possible that the publication is not particularly accurate but it set me wondering what was the serial of the Wizard? Can anyone tell me?

Thanks for that information. It was quite an impressive looking machine too.

Probably a typo. J9252
