It was some twenty years ago, at the previous IAU symposium devoted to the Magellanic Clouds, that Mathewson and Healey (1964) announced the discovery of the first supernova remnant (SNR) in the LMC. The method used was to identify a non-thermal radio source with a filamentary optical emission object and this confirmed N49 in the catalogue of Henize (1956) as an SNR and suggested N63 and N132 D as likely candidates.
