I’ve been to Arnhem three times now, twice for the official celebrations, the 60th was something else. As a brit I am truly humbled at the way the Dutch people remember the event. Anyone who has seen the flower children at the Service in the cemetry cannot fail to be moved. I will return another year.

Having been involved with testing military parachute systems the photo of the Maldrop was interesting especially if they were part of a single stick from the Dakota. I can’t help asking questions such as; How was the exit cadance controlled? and were the jumpers at the same all up mass.
Its also nice to see the LLP being used for double sticks from the Herc 4 – they really ought to do it at the minimum drop height one year, but that would mean most of the crowd on Ginkel Heath wouldn’t see them. :diablo:
