This war horse was in the thick of the fighting dropping airborne troops and gliders into Normandy on D-Day and D-Day +1. Later more of the same for Operation Market Garden at Nijmegen, Groesbeek and Grave. Irving Oil of New Brunswick imported it in 1970 and here it has just joined Ilford-Riverton Airways. In 1981 it was exported to Columbia. This photo is copyright © Tim Martin, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
