The Cessna 182 N4966E was indeed Mexican, ex XB-ZEQ, and was traded in to Lysdale Aviation along with XB-VAT c/n 33724 which became N4965E. It was photographed at Fleming Field, South St.Paul, Minnesota on 8.1.59 and to prove the point Gary Kuhn sent this photo of N4965E.

Apart from the Jackaroo, John Wegg's collection has also provided us with a new problem. The photo of Tiger Moth EC-AHY was taken in the late sixties/early seventies at an unrecorded location. The aircraft appears to be in very good condition - note the lack of anti-spin strakes - but the problem is what is its true identity? The Editor has a note of MM30-170/EE1-170 but can anyone confirm this, suggest a c/n, location and fate for this Tiger?

Compton Paterson in the Baby Grahame-White which he was to fly in the 1911 Circuit of Britain race. Claude Grahame-White's biography records that Paterson scratched after the first day, being un-nerved by the high performance of the Baby. The same source however says that in February 1911 the pioneer was "giving exhibitions at the Southport flying school of Compton Paterson, a Liverpool entrepreneur of aviation". Since this school did not appear in the list we would be grateful for any further information which may determine whether it was a genuine training school. Perhaps it was connected with the Melly school at nearby Freshfield?
