Martin. I replaced the low res small Facebook shots with real enlargable Airfighters version, so take a look at the edited message.

She arrived at Coventry airport, in the gloom on Saturday evening.
Possibly staying at CVT for a while...

Which is good news for me,as I will see her out of my office window everyday !

These were taken from CAP 10, TF-UFO with member Sigurjón Valsson as CAPtain.

Thanks for sending the pictures to me!

Great shots! Glad she made it!

Great story. Is there a registry of some sort that lists D-Day (and Market Garden) Veteran C-47s that are still flying?

No one seems to mention that one of her four friends on the tarmac is W7 (Whiskey Seven) out of NWM in Geneseo NY

Nice to see the U.S. Skytrains make the effort go celebrate the big 75th! I know some of the crews on both Daks and they must be ha king a ball! Fly safe!
