Description
... but it is a "Lizzie".
Westland Lysander Mk.III, one of two flying in Canada, finished in a very striking "bumble bee" scheme use for target towing.
Used for a variety of utility roles, the Lysander is perhaps best-known for flying covert missions into occupied Europe. Other roles included Army Co-operation, aerial observation, search & rescue, light bombing and target-towing.
Another from the CWH airshow back in mid-June. More to come...

Very interesting paint. Love the "Lizzie" too.

At least it discourages people from shooting it down by accident?

Great capture. In this shot it looks as if the right wing is folding!
