Royals mark 75th Battle of Britain anniversary
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which happened on June 6, 1944, a flypast of RAF aircraft across the UK and France will take place. The Ministry of Defence has announced one of the biggest mobilisations of the UK Armed Forces in recent years, including more than 4,000 personnel, 11 Royal Navy vessels and multiple aircraft. So far at least 34 aircrafts have been confirmed, two of which are British.
From June 2 to 9 the Daks over Normandy 2019 event will take place in two locations.
D-Day events be held at both IWM Duxford Airfield, close to Cambridge and from June 5 to 9 at Caen Carpiquet Airport in France.
During the Daks over Normandy event in both the UK and France, the aircraft will be on display and will be demonstrated in flight.
And just like on June 5, 1944, on the same date in 2019 all these aircraft will fly in formation across the English Channel for an airborne parachute drop over the original 1944 drop zones.
