Guy's Final​ D-Day Mission | Guy Martin Proper

[@DrMurdercock]

"We never had any hesitation at all." Nick Archdale at 95 years old. British WW2 D-Day Paratrooper. Said with a smile on his face. Thank you sir. Things like this give me goosebumps. People like YOU are why people like ME can write messages like this on a video freely. Thank you for that.

I couldn’t have said that any better myself. Totally respect all them great people

[@tontoontour]

Well said.

[@andrewallen9993]

@Abu Dabu yes! Work makes free! Particularly if you are jewish you moron.

[@andrewallen9993]

@Abu Dabu Fortunately due to the German populations support for incendiary bombing of civilian populations in places like Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam and London they were extremely happy when the RAF and eighth air force bombed them back to the stone age. Later they were grateful that the soviet troops were far more civilized than their hun counterparts and didnt kill the women after they had raped them.

[@stamrly418]

Sitting in a safe house many miles away from danger. But I am choked at the sight and memory of what the people that did. The comment “ I did it for the crack... These boys in the night and being shot at.... respect...” its just too small a word. Thanks for the ones who did. Regret at the ones who did not return and Thanks to the ones who did speak of the event. I hope their words will make the books and pictures live , after all each voice is different each one is unique and each one has memories of the horror and emotions of the time.. Amacf Scotland

[@tontoontour]

Nothing but the upmost respect to the brave men who actually did this on D-day. They simply don’t make men like that anymore. Massive credit to Guy on taking the the jump also.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Personally I’m not all that chuffed with this ‘recreate’ shit. Guy Martin is having a laugh. Massive respect for his TT skills. D-Day bears no comparison. So what is this all about? He seems disrespectful, it’s all a joke because he rides motorcycles. Taking the piss out of people on the trainasium. Perhaps he’ll do a glider landing next. Give me Conor Cummins everyday of the week.

[@lifelong5425]

Thanks Guy, for letting us who have not, or ever will, experience such an event. Born in 1953...it was all over, the work had been done..The older I get, the more aware and thankful I have become. For those who did that, and all it took to gave us the freedom we enjoy...Proper freedom.

[@paulbradford8240]

Thanks to all those that served and well done Guy! Did my first jump at Nacton, near Ipswich with a group of friends. Old style round parachute with the reserve at the front. Felt like a very heavy rucksack on your back. Great fun. Several years later as a Police Officer, did a charity jump to send a very ill lad and his family to Disneyland. Trained by the Armed Services at JSPC at Netheravon. A great bunch of people. Used a round parachute again. I must have got the bug! I went back a couple of years later with some friends and did another course. You could have done an accelerated free fall course at the time and we would have got Services rates and I often wish that I had as they would have advanced me so much. I went back unannounced a couple of weekends later to do another jump. The welcome from the Staff was amazing. I made another jump and then went to get another parachute to do another. 'Not so fast' said one of the Instructors, 'You can do a parachute packing class now.' That was rather special. I certainly took notice of that course. After passing that, every jump I made was with a parachute that I had packed! I loved the camaraderie of the people there. I would drive three hours down on my one weekend off a month, do some jumps, stay overnight on site, jump again if the weather was fine, then three hours home. Began to see a lovely Lady that later became my wife. I asked her if she wanted to join me parachuting, but she had a horse and rode him at weekends. I gave up the parachuting as we only had one full weekend together a month. In some respects, I wish that I had been able to keep it up. I can still remember that thought of 'Why am I jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft?!!' Great respect for all those Airborne troop of the past and present.👍

Only thing is his arm were not on his emergency chute and his legs were not together, other then that good effort. Wonder how many PLFs he did before this jump

[@JRLNeal]

My dad flew Dakotas during the war and we have his flying log books that contain the detail of the operation TONGA as he recorded it. He towed gliders and went back and forth with supplies. Later he flew in Burma and India. I recall in the 1950s him telling me stories and showing me some of his old RAF artefacts such as a knee pad navigational aid and flying jacket. He also had a rubberised map of Burma that would not rot in the high humidity of the far east.

[@miazawa89]

I feel horrible for what has happened in Normandy so long ago. Have visited these part of France in 1997 with my dad for a week from Calais down to Cherbourg and I couldn’t imagine how beautiful must this coast have been before the wars. Even worse thinking about that my grandpa was in France at WW2 but on the wrong side. Apologies from Germany 🙇🏻‍♀️

Well done guy you are a humble man

[@backtoobasics]

you can have your big houses and fancy cars but very few will ever experience that oppertunity. special thank you to my Airborne brothers that hacve served and continue to serve. static line jump training was the longest endevour i had ever taken on and to this day its my goto strategy for and large long term endevor. to the youth, there is an oppertunity in Canada to acheieve such a goal, within the Army Cadet movement after years of being better than the best but not nessicarily towing the line(its aspecific person that can knowningly throw them selves outta a plane) and more self disciplione than anyone you meet you may have the oppertunity. within the military ranks it was always difficult to get your wings, and its why u make hear smack about the process, dont mid them fools, you get a better more indepth course(considering you 17) and graduated certified whit a set of wings just like your great grandfathers wpre. be safe people and please never forget that sacrifice, the lil snots of today would be bewildered at the process of saving humanity...EX COLIS

Thank you to all the men and women who served and died. Many Jews can thank my grand father for their lives as he was part of the Danish under ground . It was a team effort and the Canadians who stormed the beach on june 6th 1944 helped secure a foot hold, there by ending the war in 3 months . My hope is we never see another war again . Happy Canada Day long weekend lest we forget those who died to keep us free.\EDIT I would not be here alive if it were not for that day.

The gentleman who paid no mind to the youth of today would be eerily familiar with the horrors our soldiers, sailors and airmen go through every day. All volunteers. I'll never forget that viral video of pensioner veterans meeting young veterans, an old man tearing up and just saying "christ, you've been through alot haven't you son?" They've spent twenty years fighting for something that can't be accomplished. You can't bomb an idea. I hope they get their fair share of honor some day. As for our WW2 vets, my late grandpa spent his last decades desperately trying to give somebody his bronze star. He didn't think he deserved it. His biggest fear was people not understanding that all anybody wanted to do was go home. I can't imagine the horror, and I'll always be grateful to them for what they did. They didn't just win a war, they came home and carried on living. That's heroism.
