Berkshire D-Day plane visited by US Air Force

Available for over a year

Current members of a US squadron that flew from a Berkshire air base on D-Day have climbed aboard one of its wartime aircraft, as it undergoes restoration. The plane - nicknamed "Night Fright" - was heading for a scrapyard in Arkansas when it was bought by the family who own its former wartime base, RAF Membury. The Âé¶¹Éç's Joe Campbell was there as the current squadron explored its history.
