I know that Spitfires ML407 & ML417 flew during D-Day, but was there any other preserved Spits or indeed any other airframes that also saw action during D-Day ?

Spitfire Vb AB910, operating with 402 (Canadian) Sqn, flew over the Normandy beaches on June 6th 1944. On the 6th June 1994, AB910, again wearing the same 402 (Canadian) Sqn colour scheme, was seen off for its sortie by a Canadian;).
Apologies for the slight thread drift. It was an important historic connection for me.

Loads of C-47’s -a number of Spitfires and probably loads of Austers! The list could be very long!
