Yes, she will be restored for static display in her markings of 6 june 1944. It’s the Merville battery museum which will house the plane in the future.

Congratulations!

She will be restored for static display, I presume?
Is there already a museum that can house this veteran, like the dome in St Mere Eglise?

Good to see another veteran airframe being saved, from what I’ve read she flew in most of the major missions of WWII whilst assigned to the 440th TCG.
