Jack Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ok - following on from the heads up by Lee about the last C-47 flights...my plans have moved about 1 million steps foward! On the 24th June - Jess and I will be leaving Coventry airport in a C-47 flying down to Normandy, along the beaches, Point Du Hoc, over Pegusus, Caen and other towns and then may be back over the white cliffs of Dover! :shocked::shocked: This trip has been organise by Allied Forces and in particular Pete Eakers and they have chartered the whole flipping plane so this is going to be a special day with like minded people. It is Jesse's birthday on July 4th and though that he may like it - I am too good to that boy!! :cool2::cool2: I believe Jim and Martin have been taking jump training - not to sure why :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've just got home from what I can only say was a fantastic days flying. The weather was superb and flying low ment some great photo's were taken. Glad to finally have met Jack and his son, it's nice to put a face to a name at last. The flight had an extra addition of a landing at biggen Hill to refuel and a really low flight over the London Eye and up the Thames, I don't know what altitude we were at maybe 1500 ft but I could see people waving in the pods on the London eye. I'll post some photo's once I've uploaded them. regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
