gary1701 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Gents, A selection from Tuesday at Duxford with the big gathering of C-47/DC-3s prior to the mass drop over Normandy yesterday. Duxford planned special events on the Tuesday and Wednesday but the weather on Tuesday was terrible with a low cloud base and rain that spread in during the afternoon - the first rain East Anglia has had in weeks! The planned practise para drop by up to 200 of the parachutists using the WW11 style chutes had to be cancelled because the wind was out of limits although they did board the Dakotas and launch prior to the cancellation. These are the best I could do given the conditions. Gary Edited June 6, 2019 by gary1701 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 My Grandad was a huge fan of the C-47 having served with the RNZAF during WWII, he would have loved to have seen this. Thanks for the pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
