On site, heard aircraft over head! Hercules and Osprey from the USAF. We decided to nip over to the airport near us to see if there were any more aircraft over for the D Day celebrations. Yes ! 2 Spitfires and a Dakota ! Great to see !! Went round to the airport proper where the C130s were and one of the aircrew gave us a badge. Spoke to one of the 67 SOS airborne division as he was preparing for his drop over St Germain.

Fantastic photos. So glad you are having a wonderful end to your holiday. I love it that your timing was perfect to see the preparations and feel you were part of them. The sound of the Merlins must have been wonderful. Have great travel home, and can't wait to see the montage of all your photos & hear about it. All my love to you both ??xx
