On 2 August 2019, rayhart-z99 (who is clearly very knowledgeable about Special Operation Executive operations in WWII) said, "the aircraft ferrying SOE agents should have been a Westland Lysander, but rather oddly looks like a Piper Cub."
Both statements are true. The aircraft should have been a Westland Lysander, and it should have been painted black with red markings and subdued insignia. However, as far as I know, there are no Lysanders available in flying condition. The aircraft is an Auster J1N (similar to a Piper Cub) Civil Registration G-AJAJ. It is almost identical to the Auster light aircraft used by the British Army and RAF during WWII for liaison and artillery spotting duties. Although it was not used (as far as I know) for agent insertion and egress missions, and if it were so used, it would not have been in those peacetime markings, I think it is close enough to be plausible.
And the beautiful De Havilland Dragon Rapide. G-AKIF is completely accurate as a post-war regional airliner.
