Its been an amazing few weeks here at former USAAF/RAF Membury for the Night Fright team.
Sunday 19th May 2019 saw Charlie Walker and Neil Jones fly in with the Aero Legends C-47 Drag 'em Oot, the first C-47 landing at Membury since October 1946.
Then on Monday morning (20th May) the team flew out of Membury to DZ 'A' in Saint Germain-de-Varreville to drop a stick of RCPT Paratroopers into the heart of Normandy, recreating what would have taken place from Membury as part of Operation Albany on D-Day 75 years ago.
The drop was part of a documentary that the Night Fright team have been working closely on, collaborating with North One Television and Guy Martin for over 12 months remembering D-Day 75. The feature length production “Guy Martin’s D-Day Landing" airs on Channel 4 on Sunday 2nd June 2019 at 8pm.
A special thanks go to @RCPT @RCPTUK @Aero Legends and everyone who helped make this hugely significant day possible and to Heritage Air Services for putting up with TV cameras for over a year.
