Very cool... It's good to see one land.


how many partisans or downed pilots were thrilled sh!tless to see a Lysander pay a visit?

Cool video!

I imagine that there were about as many happy to see the Lysander as there were people happy to see the Catalina. "Thrilled sh!tless" is probably not an overexaggeration.

A bit better quality video, is a different source than the one used by "bomberguy"

Nice one Charles ! Wonder what engine soundtrack they used though? The Lysander is fairly quiet on idle and at landing speed, and certainly doesn't sound like a fleet of multi-engined bombers !!

No idea what was the effect added in that italian newsreel, in any case dont worry, this one is ( i think ) more realistic, 3 minutes clip of 1941 with sound but without out commentary and with teh correct aspect ratio, thing that some videos of Bomberguy havent.
