British Pathfinder Group is going to be parachuting on DZ "Y" again this year. There are two lifts in the C-47 confirmed and possibly a third depending on people getting their deposits sent in time.
No jump at the British this year as that was a one shot deal for the 60th anniversary to prove a stick or two could have gotten in on the German side between the bridge and the river bank low area. Wish I was going back but I'm short on money and time this year :( |

Gentlemen here it is:
Saturday 16 September 10.00 parachute drop by men of the 4th (Volunteer) Battalion The Parachute Regiment at Ginkel Heath by Ede, followed by wreath-laying at the Monument. http://www.airborne-herdenkingen.nl/uk/programma.php And that’s just one of many activities, also their will be the annual "race to the bridge" which starts around 14.00 hour near oosterbeek, moves past the little church in oosterbeek stops at the arnhem bridge after which the vehicles will drive back to oosterbeek and end at the "Hartenstein hotel". Also "keep them rolling" will be holding a static show and defile in Ede, not far from Oosterbeek. Wim |
Marco, what vehicle are you bringing, I will be there with the carrier and the MB,
I have already seen a 4x2 CMP from GB Hendrik |
A Canadian Jeep GPW
|
Not there
Sorry guys had to cancel trip at last minute through weary health! Had awful time collecting my restored Dingo down south which took its toll.Am really disappointed so if you could post photos I'd love to see them.
Have a great day Nigel |
Cheers for the pics, really wish I could go - if there's any Fordson WOT2's or other 4x2 15 cwt trucks could someone get a pic or two? Be very grateful to see any, would love to get to Arnhem next year

@ Hendrik
Nice to meet you there :cheers: |

Carrier?
Alex
Fab pictures!! One of the pictures shows a carrier #T340234 with hoops for a tarp. Any idea who owns this carrier? I would like to find out more about this. Many thanks Barry London |
tarp
Hello, he was parked in front of me, the frame was home made, I will have to find out his name, but I think I can tell you tomorrow.
PS. It was a great day, the four Arnhem vetrans who jumped, just landed in front of us. Hendrik van Oorspronk PS.I am stil looking for more pictures of my own carrier during this event, we had forgotten our camara. |
