This year I'm uploading this AudioMo at around the time that the men of 'D' Company, 2nd (Airborne) Battalion, The Ox and Bucks. took off from Southern England 76 years ago.
At 00:16 on the morning of June 6th, as their Horsa Gliders crashed within yards of their target, they became the first allied forces to land in France and so to start the liberation of Western Europe.

This AudioMo will explain why I am so interested in those brave 181 men.

I originally created this for AudioMo back in 2014, but it’s still valid now and will be every year.
