This month’s Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton’s branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Lecture will be: Secret War and the Lysander

This month’s speaker will be Shuttleworth Volunteer Debbie Land.

After the fall of France, Churchill created the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a secret organisation to help occupied Europe. In this informative and insightful FREE presentation, Debbie will focus on the Lysander aircraft – the aircraft that transported the agents, as well as the pilots that flew them, and the role of the agents in supporting clandestine operations across Europe.
