    This was left by a friend:
    My Father was in charge of clearing the mines on Sword Beach so went over with his men on D.Day minus 6 hours .I remember lying in bed on the night of 5th June 1944 and listening to the endless noise of our aircraft flying over to France to drop men and bombs that night . I was 10 years old at the time and was both scared and proud at the same time , my Father was awarded the DSO for his bravery that night . Your wonderful film has awakened so many memories...thank you

    My father, a P47 pilot over there, had the privilege of seeing this a couple of times before he passed away.
    Huge smiles on his face, he was at home one more time.
    Thanks to you.

    History is far more important than we often believe.... and it can be fun to help to keep it alive.
    Thank you for your comment

    Cool video ! Just add water and they become full sized replicas ! 🤣 My grandfather was a U.S. Army Combat Infantry Soldier (mortar crew) and he participated in the invasion. He fought through France and into Germany. Fortunately for our family, he survived the conflict and returned to the states in 1946.

    Yh, an imperfection in the canopy moulding by the look of things

    • @rhod86
      @rhod86 9 років тому +1

      Adam Castle From what I am aware of, the 51s had two types of canopy. That is one of them and the other is the one that doesn't have that bulge. I'm not too sure though.
      If you are talking about a different aircraft or something, then I got no clue xD
