Airborne Dropping Ginkel Heath 2013
On 21 September 2013 the annual airborne drop was being held on Ginkel Heath near Ede. Hundreds of parachutists dropped from Dakota, Transall and Hercules aircraft. Nice to view for the thousands of visitors. There were around 50 veterans.
The day started cloudy, but gradually the sun came through. The Arnhem 1944 Fellowship had arranged a marquee for the veterans, so they enjoyed a comforable place to watch the commemorations.
