The role that the Lysander is best remembered for is as a 'spy taxi' picking up and dropping off secret agents behind enemy lines.For these operations the aircraft were painted black and fitted with long range fuel tanks beneath the fuselage and a ladder fixed to the side of aircraft to allow agents to enter and exit quickly.V9367 is the last airworthy example of this historic type.It was built in Canada by the National Steel Car Corporation,and was uswed by the RCAF as a target tug during the war. In October 1971 wwork was started on restoring the aircraft and completed in December 1979 when it flew again painted as V9441 as operated by 309 (Polish) Squadron
