I don't think they've ever sold Lightspeeds. I saw one catalog (I think AvShop) recently which had the entire line of Lightspeeds with the exception of the QFR Cross Country (low-priced ANR). Interestingly, they featured a "house brand" headset which looked very much like a rebranded version...

Hey Tom, Remember N6183J, that Cherokee we took up to Cherry Ridge, PA? Alas, she is no more. Just a fuselage sitting in the shop with the firewall forward torn away, the right wing carry through destroyed, and a lot of damage to the underside where the engine ended up. It's being stripped for...

I came across a photoguide to aircraft in the UK, it's not well advertised so you may not have seen it. http://www.ukskies.co.uk. It's got hundreds of aircraft types so it's worth a look. Does anyone know of any other good sites?
