Photo report Airborne Landing and Commemoration
On Saturday, September 20, the Airborne Landing and Commemoration took place at Ginkel Heath near Ede. Due to the good weather in the morning, the turnout was large. After jumps from a Dakota by Parachute Group Holland, the first mass drop followed along with a demo by the Royal Netherlands Air Force Historical Flight with two Harvards. A group of veterans from World War II was present at the commemoration. In addition to some British veterans, 100-year-old American veteran David Marshall was also a guest.
The Dutch government was represented by outgoing Minister Brekelmans. The afternoon program had to be concluded early due to the arrival of bad weather.
