Unfortunately none of the serial numbers for the 436th Serial 32 Horsas are listed. Looking at the serial numbers of the Horsas from the other...

John, you're quite correct about it being named 'SPOOK'. I posted this screenshot on the Thomas Moore thread. [IMG]

[IMG] Have we seen this photograph before of Horsa Chalk #14 with dot? La Londe?

The angle that E1 is at compared to the hedgerow behind it in the SC photo doesn't match the aerial photo but it could have been moved.

John, you're right and I shouldn't dismiss your theory yet. I'll keep going backwards and forwards between the two screenshots to see if I can be...

John, I don't think the treeline matches. The trees you've marked as 4 & 5 in the Pathe still are leaning in towards each other. In the Signal...

I actually had that in mind for this June. My wife speaks reasonably good French so I was going to take her to a few farmhouses to see if they...

Pat, From your screenshots, i'd take a guess that the chalk markings are E2 and E something. They are the same font as E3 and R15 in the...

With information on the 436th TCG glider serial 32 of Mission Elmira rather sketchy, I've been digging into the 319th GFAB who were flown by the...

I like the theory that the two colour photographs of the Horsa tail section in the lane taken by Doc Lage are located at Holdy on the hedgerow...

Dave, Spook is located at La Londe near Beuzeville-au-Plain (Some 1.3 miles north west from St Mere Eglise and only some 400 meters approximately...

Here's Col. Adriel Williams C-47 nicknamed 'Daly Express' after his wife. [IMG]
