Secret Rendezvous by Philip E. West
Until recently the exploits of the ‘Special Operations Executive’ and the pilots of 161 Squadron were little known or recognised due to the secrecy of operations undertook in occupied Europe during World War Two.

Mainly flying during moonlit periods they flew their aircraft using little more than a map, compass and watch. These extremely courageous pilots would deliver and pick up agents and supplies vital to the war effort. Today we can celebrate their considerable achievements and salute them all.

This painting depicts a rare Triple Lysander mission.
