Another aircraft which departed from Shoreham about the same time - TopicsExpress



          

Another aircraft which departed from Shoreham about the same time as the Hunter was C-47 Drag-em-Oot, a genuine D-Day veteran. This had served with the 87th Troop Carrier Squadron based at Greenham Common, and flew paratroopers of the 101st Airborne over to Normandy on D-Day. We were fortunate to receive a special pass as it flew overhead on its way back to its own base. Our Community Day will have a special feature about the TV series Band of Brothers, which was partly filmed at North Weald. There will also be a chance to see the Transport Command Memorials DC-3 restoration project and 101st Airborne Division re-enactors.
