Earlier this year I visited Pegasus Bridge and the site of the first allied landings by gliders on D-Day close by, and when I found out the history of where those gliders flew from, I had to close the loop. This little airfield has a big place in history.

Remembering the brave men of #OperationTonga.
Operation Tonga was the codename given to the airborne operation undertaken by the British 6th Airborne Division between 5 June and 7 June 1944 as a part of Operation Overlord and the D-Day landings during #WW2
(5/23) Take Pegasus Bridge for example. It was captured & held by @BritishArmy #Paratroopers during #OperationTonga.
Their efforts protected the Allies from a counterattack & helped provide a route to Paris in the days to come.
A British victory felt by the whole Alliance.
For my wife Angela, her grandfather Sgt. Fred Bell who died 76 years ago today liberating Europe. He never got to see his unborn daughter Lilian, Angelaโs mum. Heโs buried at Ranville War Cemetery, Normandy.
