Patrick Elie has one bulldozer being flown in to LZ E by a 434th TCG CG-4A as part of Mission Chicago Serial 27.
I'm interested in this as there is now proof that a Clark CA-1 dozer was flown into Normandy. The 82nd AB glider statistical tables do not list...
On my list of areas to visit whilst in Normandy for the D-Day commemorations was La Londe and the site of the Hoatson Horsa. [IMG]
RE: New Horsa Chalk markings? I'd say there is a strong possibility of a dot there.
RE: New Horsa Chalk markings? Nice find Charles. Well, the 436th TCG flew 48 Horsa's in Serial 32 so such a high chalk number as that in your...
RE: New Horsa Chalk markings? I wish I could find documentation that states how the Chalk Numbers would be applied. For the 53rd TCW, so far...
RE: New Horsa Chalk markings? Well bugger me with a fish fork. Quick work on identifying the Horsa. I had never noticed the dot on Chalk #14...

[IMG] I assume the main east to west runway due to it's length which means the smoke which is visible is due east of the airfield.
Pat, there is footage taken from an aircraft which flies alongside the main runway filming the entire glider serial and all 36 Horsas are in...
