Westland Lysander V9312 - Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018 (Day 1)

Here's a link to a very interesting article about the restoration, testing and operation of this wonderful Westland Lysander:- https://www.pilotweb.aero/features/ar... A highlight of the static 'Flight Line Walk', on the first day of the Duxford RAF 100 & Battle of Britain Airshow 2018, was the Aircraft Restoration Company's Westland Lysander Mk.III, V9312, G-CCOM. Although its first post restoration flight had been completed on 28th August, it did not fly during the show, but was a superb sight parked on the ramp. Lysander V9312 was built by Westlands during 1940, taken on charge at 33 M.U. on the 4th January 1941 and subsequently served with 612, 225 and 4 Squadrons. On 26th April 1942 whilst serving with 4 Squadron it suffered Category B accident damage. Repaired at Fairfield’s Watford, it was converted to target tug status and sent to Liverpool, from where it sailed for Canada arriving on 18th October 1942. In Canada, it served with the Commonwealth Air Training Plan at Mossbank, Saskatchewan. V9312 last flew on the 30th December 1944, then came into the possession of Harry Wherreat at Assiniboa, Saskatchewan. It was kept in storage until sold to Kermit Weeks at Polk City, Florida. No restoration work took place by Week’s organization and the aircraft was purchased by the Aircraft Restoration Company and restoration work started in 2003. The colour scheme and markings are that which the Lysander wore during its service with 225 Squadron at Tilshead, Wiltshire between July 1940 and August 1941. 'Musical' backing for the 'slide show' segment of this clip is provided by the Bristol Mercury engine of The Shuttleworth Collection's Lysander in flight.
