Record Planes Dropped From Production During The War

Here is a list of the Record Planes and Spoke Shaves that were listed as "temporarily out of production" during the Second World War, before eventually (in most cases) being dropped altogether from the Record production line. Though these planes continued to be shown as available in catalogues for a time, before finally being omitted, it was really dependent on the available stocks for any given plane.

After the wartime restrictions had ceased a few of the planes (though not the spokeshaves) were reinstated in the product line.

Record Planes re-introduced from 1943.

Whilst the following planes were listed as out of production from 1943 they still continued to be shown in catalogues, however they did not appear in any of the price lists until the dates listed below. Their re-introduction into the product line was confirmed when they appeared in Catalogue No. 17 (1963) with updated price lists.

Planes with corrugated bases began making a re-appearance from 1949 onwards, though prices were on application.
