Westland Lysander Landing at Shuttleworth

A Westland Lysander touches down at Shuttleworth Aerodrome with wheels spinning and propeller blur conveying the aircraft’s remarkable low-speed handling characteristics. Designed for army cooperation and clandestine wartime operations during the Second World War, the Lysander’s distinctive high wing, fixed spatted undercarriage and radial engine make it one of the most recognisable RAF aircraft ever built.
