    There is still one around in Flordia but it has different wing layout and no cockpit. Is this a different plane or just a different version ? (scroll to bottom of page)

    You got it, JCF III and TA! The photo I posted was the manned version to test it out before going into the remote operations effort. I guess JCF III was first so please post another one

    Found reference to an experimental installation of a 4 gun Bulton Paul turret on a Westlsand Lysander is that it ?
    The front part and wings match but the rear looks more like the tail section of a medium bomber.

    The deformed and hideous cousin of the Lysander no doubt. The one the family doesn't speak of.....

    Westland P.12 Lysander - Delanne Tail

    Yup thats the one. One of my favorite oddball aircraft.

    [​IMG]

    The P.12 Lysander Delanne was developed in 1941 after the Westland company had visited France in 1940 to inspect a Delanne 20 T light aircraft with similar tandem wing layout. Westland took a production Lysander, shortened the rear of the fuselage, designed a tandem wing/ lifting tail to allow a gun turret to be added. Twin fins avoided damage from the guns in the turret, though the prototype's turret was not operational.
    The design objective was to develop an aircraft suitable for strafing beaches if the Germans invaded England. Test flights were satisfactory, and in fact the prototype was looped safely on the first flight. The plane had a very wide CG range. But the need for such a design had passed by the time testing was completed, and the design was abandoned.
