A Most Secret Service

1. Missions By Moonlight
Hugh Verity was a night flight pilot in WWII until 1942 when he volunteered for RAF special duties and became involved in one of the most extraordinary and effective operations of the secret war - flying from Englands Sussex coast in a single-engine Lysander aircraft and landing in German occupied France delivering and collecting agents of the French Resistance in absolute secrecy - by the light of the moon. This is the story of those secret missions by moonlight.

2. Secret Songs
Between 1941-44 Diana Viscomtesse de Rosso moved in the shadowy world of secret agents and secret information as a private courier for two of the most powerful spymasters of World War Two.

Hugh Verity seems to have taken the role of representing the SOE pilots to the detriment of many of those very brave men...esp 'Mac' McCairns........

Hugh Verity was my uncle and I remember him well - nice to see this on YouTube and I will share it with my cousins.

My Dad, who was an SOE agent in 'F' Section, always spoke fondly of the Lysander Crews who picked him up on several occasions!..He said "It made a pleasant change to land in an aeroplane..rather than Jump out of one"
