To coincide with the 80th anniversary of D-Day, here are some photos I took last year of the former RAF Upottery airfield. (The 101st Airborne – featuring Easy Company – flew from here as part of the Allied invasion of Normandy).
I must have rewatched Band of Brothers a dozen times throughout my life, but I had never realised I could go and visit the airfield so easily (and I’m from Devon!).
A very touching memorial with a fantastic volunteer-run heritage centre to boot.
Highly recommended!
