The Westland Lysander was a British army co-operation and liaison aircraft produced by Westland Aircraft used immediately before and during the Second World War. After becoming obsolete in the army co-operation role the aircraft’s exceptional short-field performance enabled clandestine missions using small unprepared airstrips behind enemy lines to place or recover agents particularly in occupied France with the help of the French Resistance.
