The Chrislea L.C.1 Airguard is a 1930s British two-seat cabin monoplane, designed by R.C. Christophorides and B V Leak, and built by Chrislea Aircraft Limited at Heston Aerodrome.

Development

The Airguard was designed as a training aircraft for the Civil Air Guard; it was a two-seat (side-by-side) low-wing cantilever monoplane, powered by a 62 hp Walter Mikron II inline piston engine.[1]

Operational history

It was built in 1938, and registered G-AFIN[2] After a time in private ownership, it was withdrawn from use and stored until the 1970s. It was re-built with a new fuselage, but it remains in private storage (2006), not having flown since World War II.[3]
