And now..............For something completely different!

A photographer from the CWL team popped off to Kingswear (Dartmouth Steam Railway) on October 21, 2021

And as it's nearly Remembrance Day, theres something a little special about one of the locomotives there.
 
The RAF 1st Echelon of 21-BDS (Base Defence Sector) who landed at about 5.30pm on 6 June 1944 on Omaha Beach, Normandy.

The popular view of Omaha Beach was that it was an American beach landing, the place where the heaviest casualties occurred during that momentous day 69 years ago.

Popular history allows most people to know that the invasion of France took place over five beaches in Normandy, of which two were allocated to the Americans and three to the combined British, Canadian and Free French Forces. The two beaches to the west were allocated to the Americans (Omaha and Utah), whilst the three to the east were to the other Allies (Gold, Sword and Juno).

Any précis of what happened on Omaha Beach would not have the space to record the tiny but significant contribution that the RAF made to the success of that landing. Indeed even the most authoritative book on the subject by the noted historian, Joseph Balkoski, does not find space to recount the misfortunes which the small RAF Radar and Signals Team encountered.

However, on p.340 of Mr Balkoski’s book “Omaha Beach D-Day June 6, 1944” (paperback, 2006 edition, published by Stackpole Books) you will find a photograph of the aftermath of D-Day on June 7, D+1. It shows the wreckage of a US Sherman tank and a collection of burnt-out trucks. The trucks shown in the photograph were some of the RAF Radar vehicles which were destroyed by mortar and gunfire when the RAF men arrived.

It is such a poignant memory to the eleven men who died and 37 that were injured when they came ashore at D-Day.

The RAF team were all technical experts who faced a fiercely-defended beach when they arrived.
