I've been to France many times, and like and admire the people. If anyone cares to go to St Maire Eglise, [shown in the film "The Longest Day"] they [the visitor] will find a fresh, clean parachute ...with paratrouper hanging from the church Steeple.
Having just watched the "Pipes" clip, two things stand out...
1, Is the drunken..[happy] Froggie, the same actor who plays the Marie of St Maire Eglise?
2, I see that the Horsa glider had "C2" roundels on the upper wing. I would have though that type "B" would have been correct...
