D-DAY 81 • GLIDER PILOT REGIMENT SOCIETY The glider pilots played a fundamental role in the Normandy campaign, transporting troops and equipment. Being towed in a mostly wooden glider was not without risk. The Glider Pilot Regiment Society was established to remember the glider pilots, bring veterans and descendants together, and to pass on the history of the Glider Pilots. In 2022 they unveiled a memorial in Ranville, and today I supported their ceremony, along with the members of Massed Bands

At the Glider Collection Museum we spoke with Anne Gardner, daughter of Staff Sergeant William “Bill” Henry Wastell of the Glider Pilot Regiment. On 24 September 1944, he was wounded by a mortar at the Hartenstein Hotel in Oosterbeek during Operation Market Garden. He survived his time as a POW, and although he could no longer fly, he continued his military service. #ww2 #ww2history #wwii #worldwartwo #wwiihistory #gliderpilotregiment #battleofarnhem | Joël Stoppels Battlefield Tours
