EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Westland Lysander III R9125, as it gracefully rests at Personal Plane Services, Booker Airfield in Buckinghamshire, circa 1976. The Lysander, a versatile and much-loved aircraft in aviation history, is seen here in its post-military life. Originally designed and manufactured by Westland Aircraft in the late 1930s, the Lysander was a vital component of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, thanks to its unique ability to take off and land in short distances. Its versatility extended beyond military use, making it a popular choice for civilian applications, including air ambulance and aerial survey work. In this image, R9125, with its distinctive rounded canopy and twin-engine configuration, is seen parked at Personal Plane Services, a private aviation company located at Booker Airfield. The image, taken in the mid-1970s, showcases the aircraft's timeless design and enduring appeal. Today, R9125 is a cherished exhibit at the RAF Museum Hendon, where it serves as a testament to the Lysander's rich history and the significant role it played in both military and civilian aviation. Peter Butt, a renowned aviation photographer, captured this moment, providing us with a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and importance of these historical aircraft. The Lysander's story is a fascinating chapter in the annals of aviation and transportation history. Its legacy continues to inspire and captivate aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
