English: c/n 1185
Built in Canada during 1942 and saw Royal Canadian Air Force service with the serial 2346. Struck off charge in January 1947, she was one of a number of aircraft bought by scrap dealer Ernie Simmons. Rather than scrapping the aircraft, he kept them, presumably intending to resell them. Many of todays preserved Yales, Swordfish and Lysanders are in some way connected with this famous collection. This Lysander is one that came from that collection and was restored to flying condition by Dwight Brooks of Los Angeles, using some parts from Lysander 2366. It was put on the US civil register as N7791 and painted to represent an aeroplane of 138 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Tempsford. Based at Van Nuys, California, it took to the air again on 3rd July 1974 and carried out airshow appearances until Brooks donated it to the Smithsonian Institute in 1977. It was loaned to the USAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio, from 1979 to 1997 but was then returned and was stored at Silver Hill, Maryland, until 2005. Seen on display in the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum. Washington Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia 11th May 2015 |
