I'll give you that one Ian ..... its not the one i had in mind , but the question wasn't that specific (my bad) . The Lysander did indeed fly for the first time on June 15 1936 , and so did the Vickers Wellington.

Steinhoff book is yours thumbup1.gif

Your welcome Ian .... not many pics in the book , but the text will give a real insight to what it was like.
Seems question number 3 was a bit of a flop .... maybe I'll keep it to just one next time.
