CAF planes along with other privately restored and operated C47 planes, from around the world met at Duxford Cambridgeshire UK, for the jump off event to commemorate the airborne component of D-Day memorial flights. The "Daks over Normandy" event at Duxford saw the largest gathering of C47 transport planes in the world, since WW2. Many of the planes were original D-Day veterans themselves, including both CAF planes which both saw active service in WW2 including D-Day and subsequent missions in support of numerous campaigns, D-Day break out and liberation of Paris, Market Garden, Operation Varsity, Battle of the Bulge, Berlin Airlift etc
UK members of CAF assisted the CAF HQ and CAF crews, members from across the pond, The D-Day Squadron and returning veterans with in country logistics and behind the scenes work to ensure the entire CAF team mission to provide a once in a lifetime fitting tribute to the brave airmen of D-day was a success for the UK leg of "Daks over Normandy", at Duxford.
