Seems it requires at least one, and that it's still being investigated (thus no update)

Re: Daks Over Normandy - June 2019
looks like Miss Montana just left duxford heading north. assume she is going home?
Re: Daks Over Normandy - June 2019
Yes, headed for Prestwick then onwards. Getting on their way before the weather breaks no doubt.
A few more will be trickling back over the next few days. I believe one or two might be staying on at Duxford for Flying Legends.

The 'Main event' indeed.
Why so serious?

Small point from the opening of this Part 3... the Para drop over Normandy was into fields in Sannerville and not Ranville. And what we got over Sannerville was quite impressive with the pre-amble of the various Hercules/Casas and a Transall (I think) dropping parachutists through about half a dozen (?) circuits. The arrival of the Dakotas was chaotic as previously discussed in this thread. Some going straight into Caen, whilst others vectored for the parachute drop. Even that parachute drop seemed chaotic with some alternative vectors criss-crossing the drop zone. I thought it looked great, naively thinking that this was all in the script. However, it appears not to have been the case, and some of the parachutists seemingly exiting their aircraft such that their arrival on ground was 'close' to power lines.
It was a spectacle, no doubts there and I am glad I was there at Sannerville to see it.
I also did the airfield at Caen the next day for 'the main event.' I think the article sums that up pretty well. Call a spade a spade.
Now officially qualifies as a 'regular' at Famous Dave's - El Centro

Dakota Norway LN-WND has left Duxford. They’re currently just off the coast of Lowestoft and look to be heading home.
