    Lyffe,

    thank you for that additional piece of the puzzle!

    I am still interested in anything about Appleby & Pearson, private life or aeronautical. It seems they were divorced at some point. Compare these two ancestry search items:

    Stephen Villiers Appleby (1912-1984)
    Stephen Villiers married Zoe Monica Pearson.

    Born to Edward Ernest Pearson and Susannah Grace Croft. Zoe Monica married Private Appleby. Zoe Monica married Private Friedman and had 3 children.

    Thank you for this quick response! I have included it in the list. Now there’s only one more candidate (G-AOIV) for a possible third Rollason build. If we get that photo as well, we could establish whether there were in fact any other Rollason conversions than G-APOV and G-ANZT.

    PS. For the ignoramus among us, who or what is DCW; and where, if possible, could one access that resource?

    Complete list of 19 Jackaroos, only one photo missing

    Searching for information about the Thruxton Jackaroo, I finally ended up in this excellent thread. Since the information provided here was so useful, I thought i would add to the list published earlier by Ollie.

    My sources for this collated list are:
    Airport-data
    Air-Britain
    The Ron Smith collection
    • This thread, post by Ollie
    • Internet searches for respective registrations

    The composite list of 19 Jacaroos, including two Rollason builds, contains more complete information than any of the above. Bold means photo found on the web & linked to; only one still missing!:
