Were you there for the engine failure on the Norwegian A/c .

There was a you tube vid but can't find it now.

Superb landing on one prop.

Tony, others have commented already, but these are great pictures, thanks very much for sharing them.

I planned on going to Normandy, but alas no "spare" time, so i'm thrilled to see your pictures.

 

cheers,

Jack.
