The Lysander has become famous for her covert work in WWII dropping agents in and out of occupied Europe. However, the closest this aircraft got to special operations work was an appearnace in the film 'Now it can be told', as she spent most of the war patrolling the coast, as a target tug and as a navigational trainer.
