I did some check and I found from these web pages...

Smitsonian?
http://www.nasm.si.edu/nasm/aero/aircraft/westland.htm

USAF Museum?
http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/newold/lys.htm

Fleet Air Arm?
http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/Aircraft/Preserved/lysander.htm

Warbirds Online?
http://www.warbirds-online.com/warbird/liaison.htm

...that the Smitsonian example is RCAF 2346 marked as RAF N7791, and the Sabena examples is RCAF 2442 (mostly) and is marked as V9673. There could be some typo errors in my sources. I can't verify this with the WW Directory since I only have the first edition.

Are N7791 and V9673 bad serials for Lysanders?

Mike
