Its remarkable short take-off and landing abilities made it an ideal choice for the Army's needs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Regrettably, many design elements were based on outdated concepts. Out of 175 Lysanders deployed to France with the British Expeditionary Force, 118 were lost, as the aircraft struggled to defend itself against Luftwaffe fighters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The Lysander is a product of Leonardo UK Ltd and all rights in it, including its name, are hereby reserved.
