1/72 Instrumental panel Westland Lysander Mk.III For kit Dora Wings DW72023 & 72024

The Westland Lysander Mk.III was a reconnaissance and liaison aircraft produced by the British company Westland Aircraft Limited in the 1930s and used during World War II.

The Lysander Mk.III was a variant of the Westland Lysander air cooperation aircraft, which was originally designed to perform liaison and reconnaissance roles. It was a single-engine monoplane with an open cockpit and high wings.

The Mk.III version was introduced in 1938 and featured some modifications and improvements over previous versions. One of the main distinguishing features of the Lysander Mk.III was its more powerful engine, a 14-cylinder Bristol Mercury XX twin-star, which provided better performance than previous engines.

The Lysander Mk.III was used extensively in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the early years of World War II to carry out reconnaissance, liaison and support missions for ground forces. It was able to operate from unprepared runways due to its rugged landing gear, making it suitable for missions in areas with limited infrastructure.

A notable aspect of the Lysander was its ability to operate as an infiltration and exfiltration aircraft for commandos and intelligence agents. Its large open cockpit allowed easy access to get personnel or supplies in and out of enemy positions or isolated areas.

However, as warfare evolved and more modern combat aircraft were introduced, the Lysander Mk.III proved vulnerable and unsuitable for combat against enemy fighters. As a result, its use in reconnaissance and liaison missions gradually declined during the course of the conflict.

Despite this, the Westland Lysander Mk.III remains a historic aircraft and an icon of military aviation of its era due to its significant role in the early stages of World War II and its special operational capabilities.
