I saw those back in 2019 when Duxford hosted the D-Day 75th Anniversary. There were more C-47s there than the RAF had C-130 and A400M  :rolleyes:

That's the CAF flight. Commemorative Air Force.

Driving home from work this afternoon I came over a hill and right in my eyeline was a twin-engine, low wing transport aircraft. C-47  :thumbsup:

Annoyingly it isn't showing on ADS-B tracker so I don't know which one it was. Between Stevenage and Hertford approx 15:50 today. Probably heading for North Weald.
