Default Market Garden! 19 sep, Ginkel Heath

OK guys, only a few days to go to the "big" 65th Anniversary of Market Garden at the Ginkel Heath in Ede. I understand the "drop" will be larger compared to other years. The airborne museum in Oosterbeek has also just re-opened after a thorough renewal of the museum.

We already met 4 Airborne jeeps and an Austin Tilly on the Ferry from Hull, last Sunday. I know Keith Brooker will be there with the Humber; Maurice Donkers will be cruising the carrier. Any other MLU-ers coming?? Hanno? Nigel? Richard?


Alex

Default Parachutists in the 65th Market Garden Anniversary

Two fellow WWII reenactors from Phoenix, Arizona, Tom Salerno and his son, T.J. will be making the drop.

@ Jim. They must be onboard the C47 than, I guess? Last year there were three F8's on display on the Ginkel Heath!

@ Malcolm. Pity you can't make it. Good to hear that John Webster will be there! I met John at Beltring a few years ago.

I was there yesterday with one of my sons. Only met Marco and Alex and his friend Tim. Maurice was there with his carrier but I could not meet up with him. At such massive events it is easier to miss each other than to actually meet!

Anyway, it was worth the trouble. The Para dropping was massive and impressive, and there were many interesting vehicles to see - with a good smattering of CMPs to boot! See my Market Garden 2009 G503 album for some pics (more to follow).
