A pair of Westland Lysanders bearing the somewhat primitively-applied initials "ASRS" on their fuselages, with Boulton Paul Defiant VA-P of No 125 Sqn in the background. Note the special air-sea rescue canisters attached to the nearest Lysander’s undercarriage fairing. If you have any more information on these Lysanders or the crew in the group portrait at right, let the Editor know!

The members of the search-and-rescue detachment at Fairwood Common, near Swansea, in the latter part of 1941. Are any faces familiar?
