Recreating History – The Coins Flown on an Original D-Day Dakota Aircraft
On the 80th anniversary of D-Day this year, we remember the bravery and sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom.
Amplifying this is a very special event which has just been held honouring this milestone – one that brought history to life in the most poignant way. A fleet of original WWII Dakota aircraft just took to the skies, carrying a select few coins from The Westminster Collection, on a journey that mirrored the exact route our Allied soldiers travelled 80 years ago to the shores of Normandy.
