Watching the D-Day para drops..delayed till 15:24

I'd love to see the parachute drop on Thursday but I'll be stuck in work.

So instead I'll be tracking the DC-3s on here -> AirNav RadarBox - Live Flight Tracker and Airport Status

Have been watching them assemble and practise already...

 

Actually, think tomorrow might be the big day - just saw this on the official site

 

Two Veterans making the drop (such men as these!!!)

GO TO IT!

 

The 1330 practice drop at Duxford was called off due to the wind being a few knots over the limit. They're trying again in a bit...

 

This is more than a good few years old now, but still pertinent today, and hopefully any updated versions are selling like hotcakes!

And yes, I feel very fortunate to have the cassette tapes that accompanied it too.

 

Looks like they're prepared for any pesky Messy-shimdts turning up - currently have a Typhoon and a Voyager tanker orbiting mid-channel

 

*FLIGHT UPDATE* The mass departure is now scheduled for 15.24. If this rescheduled time goes ahead, we will be in Sannerville at approx. 18.15-18.45 local time.

 

Currently a stream of Daks over Kent (16:48)
