Cessna L-19A in RAF Service?

India Four Two. Many thanks for that. Please check PMs.
On www.korean-way.com it was reported "The Bird Dog proved so popular with some British pilots that the RAF No.1913 Light Liaison Flight acquired one through unofficial channels to supplement its Auster AOP 6s." this must have been 51-4754.
How things have changed! "Borrowing" an aircraft today is just unthinkable, certainly one for which there would be no UK manuals or oils lubricants etc. In those days Army aircraft were treated like one would treat a landrover today. Check oil levels, tyres etc and get in start it up and go .
