The Guns of Longues Sur Mer

[Gil Boyd]

Geoff,
Once they left us at Duxford on route to Normandy on the 5th they went in a gaggle for various drop zones and timings.
There were seven silver coloured commercial DC3's from South America.
As you know 40 were scheduled to arrive at Duxford on the 3rd but only 26 made it, leaving a trail of breakdowns across Greenland and Alaska!!

D-DAY DOLL and the one beside her taking the shot pictured was full of British Paras who wanted to fly over Pegasus Bridge before their drop where they knew their mates were performing to the crowds ha ha!!
Always a jump preferred to standing around in NO2 Dress!!!
