High above the quiet, patchworked fields of wartime Britain, the Westland Lysander cruises steadily, its pilot peering keenly across the horizon. You can almost feel the tense anticipation in the cockpit — the Lysander was no ordinary reconnaissance plane. Designed for daring, covert operations, it slipped unseen across enemy lines, delivering agents and rescuing downed airmen under the cloak of darkness. This breathtaking print captures the purposeful grace of the Lysander, its broad wings and fixed landing gear gleaming against the endless sky.

This collectible 1970s print, part of the Flight Library series by Flight International, features the beautifully preserved Westland Lysander V9281. The aircraft is seen here resplendent in its wartime camouflage, echoing its vital role in secret Special Operations Executive (SOE) missions during the Second World War. Often operating from moonlit fields deep in occupied territory, the Lysander became a legend for its bravery and adaptability. Measuring approximately 11 x 8⅜ inches and preserved in good condition, this print is a stunning reminder of one of the most extraordinary — and often unsung — aircraft in British aviation history.

Owning a piece like this honours the memory of those who risked everything in the shadows of war to preserve freedom. For collectors, historians, and aviation enthusiasts, this print is not just a beautiful image — it is a profound connection to the daring missions and heroic spirits that defined a pivotal chapter of history. An essential addition to any serious aviation or military history collection.
