At approximately 13.40pm on Wednesday 5 June, more than 35 Douglas DC-3/C-47s took to the skies from Imperial War Museum Duxford.

Escorted by a number of World War II fighters, they set course for Caen-Carpiquet Airport in Normandy. The planned flight will passed Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Maidstone and Eastbourne before heading out over The Channel.

They passed Le Havre and then the historic UK Drop Zone at Ranville, where the skies were filled with paratroopers jumping round military parachutes, as they descend in honour of the troops who did the same 75 years ago.

This is just a few passing over the white Cliffs of Beachy Head in East Sussex, England.

What a great tribute. Some of those plans were here for a couple of day layover at
the Oxford-Waterbury Airport in Oxford, CT. It was awesome to see them flying over our house!

The longer I look the more I like this. Some recovery of shadows from the underside?

It would be great. I did get to visit Bastogne while I was there. I'm getting a little old now. The opportunity may have passed.
