Slightly off thread, 6th of February will be the 50th anniversary of the tragic Munich Aircrash involving the Man Utd team and one of these aircraft.
Just for the record, on the 10th of February Man U will be playing their home game against City dressed in retro 1950’s kit without sponsorship logos as a memorial to those who died on that fateful night.
I’m not a fan of the club, but I remember that night well, it affected the whole country in fact, I expect that dear old Bobby Charlton will have a difficult time full of sad memories.
I assume the DX restoration team will be aware of this and note the occasion with the respect it deserves.

Its an Airspeed Ambassador, follow the link bellow if you would like to know more.

Look, sorry, I really must protest, isn’t this a military historic forum, and isn’t that a civilian aircraft..?

Just kidding! I’m utterly ignorant, what is it please?

No, ‘LZO is the last extant example, wonder when she will be ready for center stage again?

i believe she is the last of her type in existance, im sure someone else will confirm this to be most probably wrong 😀
