WW2 planes fly to Normandy to mark D-Day 70th anniversary

[mhm]

A group of World War 2-era aircraft are due to fly to France from southern England later to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Eight DC-3 Dakota planes are flying from the former HMS Daedalus airfield in Hampshire on Wednesday to drop 100 parachutists at Carentan in Normandy.

The aircraft saw active service in the war and are now privately owned.
