Westland Lysander V9367 — Shuttleworth Collection

Westland Lysander V9367 of the Shuttleworth Collection photographed in flight at Old Warden, Bedfordshire.

The Lysander became one of the most recognisable British aircraft of the Second World War, famed for its clandestine Special Operations Executive missions into occupied Europe. Its exceptional short take-off and landing performance allowed it to operate from remote fields under cover of darkness.

This image captures the distinctive parasol-wing design and dark wartime finish of the aircraft during a flying display at Shuttleworth.
