Flown by the British Glider Pilot Regiment from 1943 until 1947. With a wingspan 8ft wider, 1 ft shorter in length and as tall as Lancaster bomber, this was a big aeroplane.
It had to be; it landed tanks on D-Day.

We will forge the regiment as a weapon of attack…Not only will we be trained as pilots, but in all we do…I shall be quite ruthless…only the best will be tolerated.
Lieutenant Colonel George Chatterton. October 1942 |
