hendie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Dennis - can you tell us the source of that graphic ? Does it show any other differences between the MkII and the other marks ? it shows a MkIII tailwheel, which suggests that the MkII/MkI may be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I think I'm going to change the header to a more general Lysander discussion thread, not least because I have some more questions/thoughts! :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendie Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I thought I would add this question here to try and keep the Lysander questions in one place rather than scattered throughout multiple threads... Fire extinguishers... Checking through my reference photo's I can see that there are two fire extinguishers fitted. One on the framework to the right of the pilot's seat, and another on the framework just forward and to the left of the navigator/gunner's position. Was this also true on wartime a/c ? or is this a refurb addition ? If the extinguishers were an in-service item, were they colored red ? or some other color?
