613 (City of Manchester) Sqn Lysander preparing for a coastal patrol flight along the North Sea coast. Originally thought to have been P1692, but now believed to be another 613 Lysander. Additional comment - This is a MK 11 and not a MK 1 with the engine "power egg" of the Bristol Perseus engine being mounted further forward on the Mk II and therefore not having the curved shaped cooling flaps around the windscreen typical of the Mk I and Mk III Bristol Mercury power egg.
