Thanks Stefan & Downscale (sorry no Christian name) very nice of you to say so.

That is interesting Steve. Just had a look and they were used during the Battle of Britain along the east coast in spotting downed aircraft survivors & dropping dinghys etc.

Amazing 1786 of these little "terrors" were built.

Bit late with this Laurie, sorry.

What a great build, really nice all round job.....A cob looking aircraft for sure, but nothing else could do what these did during WW2.

Thank for that Ron. Yes did a lot of work. Read many times Maquis written by an Englishman about the resistance in the Besancon area in France. Short field two torches 20 Frenchman. As soon as the aircraft had stopped they man handled the aircraft around out with the resistance chaps in with those going back to England & off. All within a near stones throw of the German Security Army.

I was wondering where this one had got two. Anyway, great result, I bet it looks very impressive in the flesh. Yes, 1:32, it is a bit big - handle with care. Top marks for avoiding the Lysander droop.

Actually it had a big droop Colin. One of the wings fell off.

The wings !! My sits high up on a cabinet, and I never touch the wings if I have to move it - far to delicate even in 1:32.
