We're in the café at Cherbourg Airport again
Quettehou, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont and the D-Day Museum, Utah Beach - 4th June 2026
There's not much action with the Dakotas as it's still mostly too windy for parachute drops, and so Robert once again drives Nosher, Clive and the Essex Massive around Normandy - this time visiting Quettehou for a café stop, Utah Beach with its D-Day museum, and then Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, where there's another assemblage of US military vehicles and re-enactors.

A nice French maison
Another 'almost the 1940s' photo
Inside the church of Notre-Dame

More stained glass in an aisle chapel
