The following is an extract from Lucien Dumais' book "The Man Who Went Back", which describes the Lysander landing (Operation MAGDALEN II) on 16-17 November 1943.

.... Three aircraft were once again taking part, and we were in the lead plane. As soon as our pilot saw the flares he started to lose height. He made one tight circuit, then began his approach. The other two clung close to us, in perfect formation. As the wheels touched we started to open the hatch; much too soon! Hurriedly we closed it to prevent ourselves from being blown out. As the aircraft stopped rolling, we opened it again. We both drew our guns, just in case we had the wrong reception Committee.
A civilian appeared out of the darkness and yelled at the pilot; everything seemed to be all right.
Ray [Labrosse] was out in a flash with his radio. The ground crew came running up. Ray put his radio between his feet and when one of the crew reached for it. he got:
" Laissez ça tranquille!"
I passed down our gear, and the ground crew ran to the edge of the field with it. It was difficult to get going after being cramped up for hours. I kept my briefcase in my hand and jumped down. Immediately three men who had been waiting by the tailplane, climbed aboard. I never thought they could all get in; but they did, and closed the hatch. Even without luggage it would be a tight squeeze.
Ray and I ran to the edge of the field where our gear had been taken. One of the crew had a flashlight and we were able to make sure that everything was there. This was no time to be losing things.
There were four other incoming passengers, and the ground crew were keeping each group separate, not only, perhaps, in order to keep their luggage apart, but also to prevent one group from meeting any of the others. We had now truly entered a world where such knowledge might mean death.
There were five men in charge of each planeload, plus the leader of the operation who was keeping an eye on things while he talked to the leading pilot. In addition there were three men on the flarepath.
The aircraft flashed their landing lights, turned, and taxied to the other end of the field, where some flashlights were blinking. They swung into wind; the leading aircraft put on its lights, the others did the same, and then they were racing down the field in perfect formation. They had been on the ground for barely five minutes. This was due to the efficiency of the receiving crew, every one of whom knew his job perfectly.
It had been a well-planned and well-executed operation. As the engine notes of the three aircraft faded, we knew that now, after all the weeks of postponement, we were on our own.....

Dumais mentions three planes. According to Hugh Verity’s book “We Landed by Moonlight”, three Lysanders left Tangmere, on that night, but only two were involved in this operation (MAGDALEN II). The other operation, GITANE, had to be abandoned over France, because of a low cloud base. He also mentions "four other incoming passengers", whereas Verity only details Dumais & Labrosse. There were, however, four packages delivered from the other Lysander.
