Some from my trip to old Warden today to see the American Daks which have come over for the D.Day 80th anniversary. Weather was variable but still enjoyable, there were 4 in attendance. Here's a selection....

Beautiful aircraft and a lovely setting. A Dakota on main wheels only is a sight to behold. Thanks Andy.
