The British Westland Lysander was a slowflying high-wing two-seat monoplane, lightly armed, and designed pre-war to cooperate with the ground forces. No.225 Squadron was reformed on 11 October 1939 from No 614A Squadron (which had been formed from 'B' Flight of 614 Squadron eight days earlier) at Odiham. Its Lysanders were mainly used in Army exercises except for some coastal patrols conducted from June 1940. They were easy targets for German fighters and suffered heavy losses in France and Belgium. Used initially as ground support aircraft, they were soon relegated to second line duties, where the STOL capabilities of the aircraft were used to their full potential.
