10 Dakotas assemble in Normandy for D-Day 70th

[Elliott Marsh - GAR]

Eight Dakotas departed Lee-on-Solent today, heading for Cherbourg where they'll join two more (including Whiskey 7 from the USA).

My take on this powerful event, commemorating the sacrifices of 70 years ago, is linked below with some photos from the excellent event which accompanied it.

C-47 "ID" is based in Oxford, CT and flew over the first week of May to take part in this grand celebration!
