Want to see the Dakota armada heading for France, places to be

These are the dates and times not including the Duxford days for the UK on the 4th and 5th that I am going too, see the linky Daks over Normandy for details, they are also doing Germany and Paris I believe,

5 June

UK Times ( all times are approximate)

13.40 – 14.05 Take-off Duxford Airfield

14.21Colchester Flypast

14.29Southend-on-Sea Flypast

14.37Maidstone Flypast

14.50Eastborne Flypast


Additionally for those in Scotland, Prestwick will host the US contingent for viewing enroute

Current update - all ten of the Oxford, Connecticut gathered DC-3's/C-47's/C-53's departed this morning, and most have now arrived at Presque Isle, Maine for a fuel stop on their way to Goose Bay, Canada. N47E "Miss Viriginia" has already arrived at and departed from Presque Isle on its way to Goose Bay right now, and N8336C "Spirit of Benovia" is making a direct flight right now straight to Goose Bay. All should be at Goose Bay by this afternoon.

You can track all of them on FlightAware and FlightRadar24:

"Miss Virginia" - N47E
"Spirit of Benovia" - N8336C
"Placid Lassie" - N74589
Historic Flight Foundation's "Pan Am" - N877MG
"Virginia Ann" - N62CC
"Flabob Express" - N103NA
"Betsy's Biscuit Bomber" - N47SJ
"D-Day Doll" - N45366
"Legendary" - N25641
"That's All Brother" - N47TB

Hopefully "Miss Montana" N24320 will be able to get out of Missoula today - it was originally going to be part of the group that was gathered at Oxford, but it has been held up in Montana due to the weather over the past few days.

The DC-3 "Clipper Tabitha May" N33611 has already arrived at Greenland as of yesterday, and may be heading to Iceland today.
