Re: Operation 'Coup de Main' / Operation Tonga - 5/6 June 1944
If it helps, my grandfather was on the same aircraft (V1740) as Sqn Ldr Merrick and I have some 'interesting' correspondence between the AVM and Captain Midwood (22nd IPC) about 'who actually reached France first'
Rob Thomas (Grandson of Griff TAFFY Thomas)
One of the 'walking cargo' is still alive in the Midlands.
