[edit]DescriptionD-DAY 76 (49978059006).jpg |
" I took chances on D-Day that I never would have taken later in the war. " – First Sgt. C. Carwood Lipton, Easy Company "the band of brothers" of the 101st Airborne Division. As part of the D-Day 75th Anniversary events, the BBMF recreated a parachute drop over Normandy with 16th Air Assault Brigade. Availability of the BBMF Dakota ZA947 (8.33 kHz radio fitting), the crew (all volunteers who have other RAF roles), and of suitable weather squeezed the window of opportunity for a training jump at RAF Weston-on-the-Green, but persistence paid off, the practice was completed and all was set for France. On 5th June 2019, the BBMF Dakota, mirroring the 139 Dakotas involved in dropping Parachute Brigades in June of 1944, carried 12 Paratroopers of 16th Air Assault Brigade to the Drop Zone at Sannerville, escorted by Spitfire Mk Vb AB910, an historic aircraft which flew numerous cover patrols over the D-Day invasion beach heads on 6 June 1944 and afterwards. |
