Thanks for the replies. I don't have a specific unit at the moment. I do always base my tours around particular stories. Two of our old boys were glider pilots, one of them being killed, so that will form the main focus of our two days in the Arnhem/Oosterbeek area. I am hoping to take a group of boys to the Assault Glider Trust in Shropshire prior to our visit. The other old boys was Gunner Tom Hopkinson of 84 Medium Regiment RA buried at Jonkerbos. I don't know very much about their movement up to Nijmegen.
