This Westland Lysander is shown a typical Army Co-operation/Air Sea Rescue colour scheme. A successful STOL aircraft it first flew in 1936. Its most significant role, however, was as a covert liaison aircraft, delivering and picking up SOE agents and those fleeing the Gestapo from small fields in Occupied Europe, at night. It has known to carry three - in an emergency four - 'Joes' or passengers in the rear cockpit. This example is owned by the RAF Museum, and has been removed from the London site for restoration. ,
