Last saturday Kyan (my son) and me went to see the mass paradropping at the memorial of operation marketgarden on the Ginkelse hei in Ede. It was an impressive event, Accordingly a 1000 parachutists from the Netherlands, Great Britain, Poland, Belgium and the United States jumped from different planes. There were C-130 Hercules transportplanes, Transall C-160 aircrafts and old Dakotas. There were around 75000 people on the “Ginkelse Hei” in ede to watch the massdrops. One of the parachutists landed on the road between Ede and Arnhem causing a traffic jam but the man stayed unharmed. The wheather conditions were great. And I think that is the reason so many people came to watch the paradroppings and to be present at the memorial itself.
We had a great time, you can have a look at the pictures in the event folder from the menu.
Talk to you later
