ytargsillou is on a distinguished road
special belgian route for a stream of Market Garden Gliders

Hi all,

On 17th september 1944 afternoon , a stream of DC3 towing gliders flew near La Louvière in Belgium. These planes came from the north to the south. La Louvière is about 45 km south of Brussels.

During Market garden, planes took off from England and flew from the west to the east. There were 2 routes, the northern route ( by Zeeland islands in Holland ) and the southern route ( by Belgium ). This southern route was on the north of Brussels.

Then, I don't understand why there was a stream coming from the north and 50 km south of the southern route ...

Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks.
