The Westland Lysander is a name that resonates with daring and innovation, a British army co-operation and liaison aircraft that played a pivotal role during World War II. First taking to the skies in 1936, the Lysander was renowned for its exceptional short-takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, allowing it to operate from makeshift, unprepared airstrips behind enemy lines. It served the Royal Air Force with distinction, particularly in facilitating the clandestine insertion and extraction of special agents and equipment in occupied Europe. With its distinctive silhouette, marked by high wings and fixed landing gear, the Lysander was not just a workhorse but a symbol of hope and resistance. It was affectionately nicknamed the 'Lizzie' by those who flew and maintained it, and its legacy is celebrated in aviation history for its unique contributions to wartime efforts.
