Gentlemen
My book “Wings over Bermuda – 100 years of aviation in the West Atlantic” is now with the printers and will appear Spring 2014 published by the National Museum of Bermuda.
I have carried out extensive research into the light aircraft based in Bermuda and the book tells the full story for the first time.
However, there are still some gaps in the Luscombe information particularly during WW2 when very little was reported or recorded.
Available images of the Bermuda Luscombes in RAF markings show no serials/registrations so that only adds to the confusion which was which.
Both VR-BAK and VR-BAS (neither were Bermuda Flying School) still survive and are under long term restoration into a static museum exhibit.

Pembrokes

Pembroke N510RP is still in storage at Blaine-Anoka County Airport MN owned by Sean Keating and XF799/N4273C is at Watkins-Front Range Airport, CO owned by John Mulvey. I suggest you buy a copy of the wonderful book “Survivors” by Roy Blewett. It lists all the surviving Prince/Pembrokes as well as many other old types.
Happy flying!

Prince G-AMLZ

Can I add my thanks to Jon and his team for a wonderful job. G-AMLZ was not going to be scrapped but just made smaller for display inside the museum. It will now stand a good chance of re-appearing in one piece. I have looked at Dougals Bader’s logs in the RAF Museum. I don’t think he flew G-AMLZ, I couldn’t find it in his logs.
I will also put my hand in my pocket to help restore this lovely classic for the future, but then I have loved Princes/Pembrokes etc for 40 years!
Cheers
Tom
