HI EVERYONE, ON THE WEEKEND OF 28/29 th JULY 2007 THE 101st AIRBORNE RETURNED TO UPOTTERY AIRFIELD, NORTH DEVON, ENGLAND.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE 101st HAD RETURNED THERE SINCE THEY LEFT IN JUNE 1944. THE AIRFIELD WAS LAID JUST FOR D DAY, WITH THE TROOPERS CAMPED IN FIELDS SURROUNDING IT, THIS WAS NICKNAMED ' TENT CITY'. HAVING THE WAR TIME C-47 WAS A REAL BONUS FOR US, THE AIRCRAFT FLIES REGULARY ONCE A WEEK, ON VARIOUS EVENTS.
