Historic Flight Foundation's N877MG is scheduled to arrive in Duxford on Wednesday (29th) - currently in Reykjavik.
Although built as a C-47 and operated over the 'hump' during the war, it's currently configured as a DC-3 with an 'executive' interior and a Pan American paint scheme. So not as visually correct as some of those participating in the D-Day event. OTOH, David Hamilton, the only surviving pilot from the twenty pathfinder aircraft flying on the night of June 5, 1944, is scheduled to be in the cockpit.

I posted about N877MG flying over my house a couple weeks ago on it's voyage to Normandy here:
