Spy plane set to take flight - Lysander airborned in June after 22-year restoration

The Westland Lysander aircraft was designed to work with an army and became a legend slipping spies over the English Channel on moonless nights.

In Canada, it helped train novice fighter pilots to hit the right target.

It was a workhorse, not a thoroughbred.

The one the Canadian Warplane Heritage (CWH) Museum will put back in the air in June, after more than 22 years of restoration, has tough blood lines -- it was built by National Steel Car in Toronto in 1942.
