EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping back into history, this print captures the awe-inspiring moment when Hamilcar gliders of the 6th Air landing Brigade gracefully descended onto D2N near Ranville on June 6th, 1944. As Operation Overlord unfolded during World War Two, these mighty aircraft brought with them the invaluable Tetrarch tanks of the 6th Airborne Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. In this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost hear the thunderous roar of engines and feel the tension in the air as these gliders touched down on enemy territory. The significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of military might but also in its representation of courage and determination. The Hamilcar gliders were instrumental in delivering heavy equipment to support ground troops during D-Day. These colossal machines carried within their bellies the powerful Tetrarch tanks that would play a crucial role in overcoming German defenses. This photograph serves as a testament to both technological innovation and strategic planning employed by Allied forces during one of history's most pivotal moments. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of our collective past but also of those brave men who risked everything for freedom. It is through images like these that we honor their sacrifice and ensure that their stories live on for generations to come.
