6F5. The Ferry ref was in jest. The Normandy drop that I led had to follow the Dak onto the DZ at Ranville. The DC3 was already sausage side as we thundered across the channel. Up came the DZ saying "Sunray" the PoW was still chatting to the old crones at the café on Pegasus Bridge and could we delay. Bloody Nora we thought and set up a racetrack over the oggin. Once cleared we set up again but were told that the Dak was to run in first. Another wide turn then back in. At the TAP the Dak called up saying he still had troops on board and could he make another pass. The reply was "Yes in 10 minutes cos it's going to be a bit crowded till then"
