A whole weekend of celebrations for the 65th Anniversary of D-Day is underway; and this lunchtime reached us here a good 3/4 hour from the nearest landing beaches. Wave upon wave of military planes banked and turned over us heading to the parachute drop at St. Mere-Eglise.
They appeared from the west – over the Channel Islands and the West Cotentin coast
they banked and turned
coming so close
then away south east towards St. Mere-Eglise
then they were back again
more and more
circling and banking for about an hour
even the dogs next door were trying to see what was happening
