Thanks for looking this up David, as least we have a reference now and for Mushroom Lysander Volume 2, Page 122 be updated to say
“the genuine Lysander Mk.III (SD) donated to France after W.W.II seems to have simply disappeared.”
can be replaced by
“the genuine Lysander Mk.III (SD) donated to France after W.W.II was unfortuately scrapped prior to 1973.”
JDK based on his editing experience will of course do much better than this..
Note to self.. Always use JDK from now on to avoid repeating ‘superflous n’ in name mistake
Well remembered Steve!
It has to be in either Vol 2, 3 or 4 of Hunts Veteran and vintage aircraft of the world books as that is where I must have read about it being scrapped and I have not got volume 1!

Can anyone give me any more detail from JDK’s book? I don’t have it!
Maybe you can help, James??
Mushroom Model Magazine Westland Lysander
James Knightly’s Book says it was an ‘Free French Lysander’. I HAVE seen a photo of the ceremony in either Flypast or the other mag before
Yes one was destroyed in the fire, they have recently got another – However IIRC the original one was scrapped
“there could be anything upwards of twelve to fifteen Hornets in that grave if they are still there”
Is the collective noun for this a “Hornets Nest”?
Probably the adverse comments made on here and like forums has scared them off doing a remake after all
Yep maybe, you know what happens when you ‘open the flood gates’ then everything bombs…

Well that is what they photos reminded me of actually..

Test Pilot to Chief Designer
“I think torpedo delivery system needs major rethink!”
“I have a set of AB Impressment Logs in my little library – as they seem to have been highly sought after I guess that means the ‘value’ of my library has taken a tumble “
Well the data is available virtually now and well as physically. I would expect serious book collectors though would still want the Phyical over the Virtual, but the ‘serial hounds’ would have left the market
Air Britain’s Aviation World 60th anniversary issue of Sep 2008 included a cover CD of historical AB issues as pdfs, including Impressments Log Vol 1 to 4 plus Index.
May be available as a complete back-issue from AB.
I am sure they are running a current propmotion in that you get the Cover CD ‘FREE’ if you join as a Member
