As part of the 75th anniversary of the D Day invasion of Nazi held Europe in 1944, Douglas DC3s, C47s and Dakotas came from around the world to reenact the Airborne troops parachute drops that first put Allied boots on the ground. In this interview I chat to Nick Comacho, a pilot of the C47, Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber, that had flown over from the States to Duxford in England to take part.
Refuelling the C47 prior to a flight from Duxford.
The weather at Duxford was a trifle damp at times.
The reenactment parachutists gear up prior to getting airborne.
Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber fires up.
A wonderful array of vintage aircraft… quite a sight to see.
