Jeannette Guyot, Free French agent – RIP

A tenuous aviation connection maybe, but this extraordinarily brave woman deserves a mention anyway.

Thank you for all you did for our freedom. May you rest in peace . . . . .

She was dropped into France by 161 squadron.

Let me correct the drop date for the radio operator Jeannette Jeannette Guyot alias of SUSSEX Plan. She was parachuted near Loches on the night of 08/02/1944 with peers of the Pathfinder Commander Marcel Marcel alias Saubestre team Cpt George Lassalle alias Lescour and radio Binet Pierre Lucien alias at the cove operation ( F / L Parker 161 squadron RAF).
Pierre Tillet
son of a former agent SUSSEX

The page continues with a long English description of her career including the drop from a 161 squadron Halifax

As with all who operated as resistance workers a truly brave person.
