Kyt is a bit shady
I've been looking at the unit diaries for Market Garden at The Battle of Arnhem Archive

and one that seems possible is "B" Squadron

17th September 1944

Place: Arnhem

1040 - 1st Lift takes off from Manston on Operation "MARKET". Weather excellent over base and sea. Cloudy over Holland. L.Z. located and all landed within area without casualties except of S/Sgt. Hopkins and Sgt. Hooper who were wounded by M.G. fire after landing. Two Gliders failed to arrive. Lieut. Barclay and Lieut. Millar rope broke over TILBURG. S/Sgt. Geary and S/Sgt. Bristow rope detached from tug over U.K. Combination flew over on second day. No opposition on L.Z. South Staffs and G.P's. rendezvous at REIJERS CAMP. Quiet night after digging in.
Does anyone have details of the No 1 Wing, The Glider Pilot Regiment and Lt Barclay and Millar (who they may be carrying)?
