Perhaps you have heard about the operation which is undertaken to save, restore and show a C-47 in a museum in Normandy near Caen?

This plane was found in the 1990s by a French soldier while he was peacekeeper in Yugoslavia. The plane was machinegunned during the events in this area and since this time is on an airfield near Sarajevo. Until the directors of the Merville Battery heard about her and wants to save her.

On 12th November the governement of Bosnia gave the authorization to take this plane and bring her to France where she will be restored and showed to the public in her 1944 markings of the 95th TCS.

You can find all the information on the website of the battery at this address:
