April 1944 saw a lot of activity as training intensified in preparation for the D-Day landings. Finally, on 6th June 1944, 512 and 575 squadrons went into action from Broadwell flying troops into Normandy. By midday, the Dakota's were back at Broadwell, and this time they took off with Horsa gliders in tow.
For more information, Broadwell has already been covered by Steve Smith in his superb article.
