If weather holds - my buddy Allan and I are off to the UK leg of the D-Day remembrance events at Lee-on-Solent tomorrow in Allan's '44, ex USAAF Piper Cub to join a fleet of C-47s and some other interesting machinery and people.
Over-nighting there - then due south on Wednesday - across the Channel to Cherbourg.
Weather looking varied at present - so we'll see how far we get - but hopefully spend rest of the week in and around Normandy.
The aircraft served in France after D-Day and subsequently was taken on charge by the post war French Air Force - before going on the civil register in the 1950's.
Will take lots of photo's and post any particularly interesting ones here.
Bit of a special trip - for the aeroplane as well as us - wish us luck!!
