Cessna L-19A in RAF Service.
During further research on this topic I found that mention of this aircraft is made in General Sir Anthony Farrar-Hockley's book "The Army in the Air" published by Alan Sutton Publishing the General writes:-
"
The light liaison pilots of 1913 Light Liaison Flight - officers, warrant officers and sergeants still wearing their Glider Pilot Regimental badges - reconnoitred, dropping leaflets and partnered the AOP in air photography. They carried commanders and staff as much along the line as in taxi work behind it, though the carriage of large passengers in the Auster 6s was never comfortable. Captain Peter Downward, the first flight commander, was grateful for the loan of a relatively spacious American L-19 Bird Dog to ease the discomforts of his tall divisional commander of the 1st British Commonwealth Division ."
