- 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.
Warms my heart and is really wonderful to see English & French folks dressed up and respecting our soldiers, god bless you guys from across the pond and bless the Englishmen & French who also fought in DDay and helped liberate France as well
This is a great video. Thank you Garrett for you narrative. Love Placid Lassie and Betsy's Biscuit Bomber ✈️❤️
Saving this bit of extraordinary history is an incredibly honorable endeavor! Thank you Night Fright crew. I only wish I could be there with you.
Wow! What a great clip! Wearing the period clothing and the jeep! “Perfection!”
Nice to see Guy Martin too!
Keep up the great work...
Round engines sound SO GOOD!
fabulous the efforts put in to remind people of the horrific sacrifices that were made by so many that the world might have 7 decades of cooperation
What a fantastic program, hope the full program finds its way her on TH-cam ! Saw many of the jumps by various teams this past year for the 75th in Normandy! Remarkable effort by so many to remember & honor!!! Thanks for sharing! ATW!!! TC
Hey Guy, that doesn't look like a TT motorcycle. I hope you had a wonderful time flying in a piece of history. Our town here in California has sent over our own aircraft, tail number 348608 with the yellow cockpit Id letters "CD". She's "Betsy's Biscuit Bomber", a C-47B built in 1943. It was flown from Paso Robles California, the aircraft is part of the Estrella Warbirds Museum collection there at the old WWII Estrella Army Air Corp base outside of Paso Robles California. This aircraft's last U.S. missions were flying the Berlin Airlift, it was sold to Israel and was later purchased back from the Israeli Air Force and refurbished, there is an Israeli language sign painted on the interior head-door that roughly reads, "The only replacement for a Dakota, is another Dakota". The plane was a military transport it's whole life and never converted for civilian us. It still has all of it's original equipment to include the 1943 over-sized desert type air-scoops atop the engines nacelles and the gear it used for towing combat gliders at Arnim. I hope you get to see her and all the other flying in.
Now that is really cool!! Nice info!👍✌
Great to see and hear the Dak, thanks for posting the video, good luck and have a great time next week!.
Remarkable! Thanks so much for doing this and sharing...keep the faith!! 👍😆
Blessed Be , mates
Never forget the sacrifices made to defeat evil.
I'm so proud of you boys no MEN! You have done such a awesome and a heartwarming experience in your build!! Cant wait till she is done!1 of your 1st 50 subs! CHEERS! What a treat for you guys to get to do!!👍✌🇨🇦
Cheers from the US!!! Thanks for making this!
Great re-enactment with so much attention to detail,well done everyone.
Excellent, you really look the part..
Brilliant fella's.
Thank you for doing this video! The young ones today thinks WWII is a video game.
I saw your aircraft today (2019-06-06) on video from the mass launch. Wow!
Great video right after watching Plane Savers.
just excellent
hi from plane savers ! the old bird looks fantastic and the uniforms look the part as well well done team !
PLANE SAVERS
DTD flew! On D-Day ! Accomplishment of volunteers and Mikey McBryan that was said was impossible.
Love his vids
So you got it in the air then. Brilliant
Still in service today... great bird. Wish I owned one
Gentlemen, Thank You.
Nice clip, and you'll be able to do it all again with Night Fright when she's complete! 😃
Fabulous! Is there a second half showing the paratrooper drop please?
Your Warbird complete with invasion stripes looks worthy for Gen. Maxwell Ridgway of the 82nd Airborne Division in 1944 to salute. Great tribute to those brave service men invading Fortress Europe 75 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Mathew B. Ridgway
@@jk-76 thank you for correcting the erroneous Christian name for General Matthew Bunker Ridgway you have a sharp eye for detail & a spelling error also.
@@quietkate
I saw that name thousands of times. Never once spelled the first name.lol I was a paratrooper, we spell our own names wrong...
@@jk-76 Should know how to lace your boots & pull a ripcord. It takes nerves of steel to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft along with an even strong sense of awareness regarding rate of descent. My gratitude to your service & your fellow paratroopers.
@@quietkate
Thank you my friend. I was absolutely terrified on my first jump. 4th time in an airplane I jumped.
So we'll just ignore Merville Battery, Pegasus Bridge, and Ranville, you know, where the BRITISH AIRBORNE actually hit their objectives, the 6th Airborne Div under Windy Gale showed the way on how to run Airborne Ops. Pity Browning and 1st AB Div didn't pay attention later on. Best tribute to US Airborne boys is the defence of BASTOGNE; and the crossing of the River Waal. Classic definitions of Airborne tenacity in defence, and determination in the attack.
The audacity of what they did🌹 their rendezvous with Europe’s destiny 🌹
Tens of Million of of Great Children each of them has......
Great to see your reinactment hope a pice of nightflight was on bored so she was there in spirit too
Doing "Bridge too Far " Film a few years back in Holland was more authentic - different from these 'Brit accent' people in this movie....but we only had a dozen C-47's.....besides the big movie stars some of the older pilots actually flew in the battle....one was a P-51 American ace who still flew!
Kudos to the Brits for saving their C-47 & re-enacting the American Pathfinder D-Day jump into Normandy 75 yrs. ago. Couldn't find any Yanks interested enough to take part?
A whole contingent of planes started flying over last week. They maybe doing their own rehearsals but i think all will fly over together on June 6th. Around 40 DC-3's !
Just wondering why all these drops on Normandy only with American Uniforms ? also Great job Guy Martin!
Very realistic, mighty fancy horseless carriages in the backround. Why are the rear door hinges taped?
100pounds lighter lol total respect
wondered why guy was in a pub in swindon
If ya gonna do it do it right!

Is that Dakota G-DAKS of aces high?
As out of turn as i say this - do you remember our own The only love we seem to show is yank.
Its not a crime to remember the Brits?
isaac hunt You are quite right of course but are focus is on the USAAF for a very good reason.
Our aircraft was built in the USA by Americans, flown by Americans and also operated form a USAAF base (Membury) where we are based.
No views, 3 Likes (including mine) and no comments. I'll be number 1 I think. Cheers
Why Britons dressed as mercans?
except the real men where not middle aged they were young guys of 16 t0 early 20's
The old bodies represent the maturity of the young guys.
What the Hell was that? I did not see Guy Martin or Fawkes or gay this and that. Yeah. Maybe some of the last.
You’re either blind or stupid. My guess is the latter
@@aircraftwreckandrelicvideo25 I was looking for Guy Martin because he is a show, but I didn´t see him in this video.
4:37 And if you take a brief look to your left, you'll find, a millennial. Adopting a smart phone, Nike trainers, a cricked neck, using the force to navigate and a shit footballers haircut.
I can't understand why people always dress up as yanks yes they did play a part but what about the English rembering Britain was in world war 2 first 🤔
Because its an American aircraft operated by American crew dropping American paratroopers from an American occupied airfield. Our interest is centred around the US involvement as they were based in the local area.
