Several Decades ago I spoke with a family member who had flown the Westland Lysander, the Auster, the German Fieseler Stork and many more Allied and Axis Aircraft but I do not recall some of these points...mind you my old grey matter is not what it used to be...
-No floor...egads...what if you dropped your pipe I always smoked my pipe when aviating...
-Poor or No Brakes
-Pilot does not control Flaps
The Westland Lysander at the Canadian Warplane Heritage is also a Flying Aircraft...last time we were there I was admiring the Machine Guns mounted in the Wheel Fenders...It's livery is yellow and black Tiger Stripes...perhaps for Target Towing.
