I'll be at Lee-On-Solent tonight for the memorial service and flypast. There will be the largest gathering of C47's since D-day, 8-10 in total from all over the world. They will fly across the channel in formation tomorrow morning and setup in France for Thursday.
A couple were practicing over my back garden last night.
