I am looking for information about aircraft, which were used after WW II on the special flights to resupply Ukrainian insurgency. The op was run by the British. I am particularly interested in the airdrop that took place on 14 May 1951 in the Ukraine and Poland. Myron Matvieyko of the OUN (Bandera faction) security service was parachuted into the Ukraine then. Another team of OUN agents was parachuted into Poland from the same aircraft.
There are unconfirmed reports that the aircraft was an Avro Lancaster, which departed from Cyprus and was manned by a Hungarian mercenary crew. The a/c entered the Soviet airspace from Romania, and, after the mission, has safely returned home.
Any info on the subject is appreciated.
