Flying
Tours: London to the Normandy Beaches, Mont Saint Michel
& Deauville
A
British Tours Ltd guide, specialising in the WWll and the
military, will meet you in the morning at your London hotel
and drive you to Fairoaks Airfield in Surrey.
Boarding a twin-engined aircraft, fly over Portsmouth
Harbour before crossing the Channel. During the hour's
flight your guide, with the help of charts, will brief you
on the strategic situation in the European Theatre during
the months before D-Day - naval, air, military strengths on
both western and eastern fronts; Hitler's command style
against Churchill and Roosevelt's and the tactical dilemmas
facing both sides.
See the Normandy landing beaches from the air: Sword
and Juno Beaches where British Commandos, the
3rd British and 3rd Canadian Infantry Divisions came
ashore, Gold Beach where British Commandos and the
XXX British Corps came ashore, and Omaha and Utah
Beach where 4 US Infantry Division came ashore.
You can then either fly south-west to circle Mont Saint
Michel, landing at Dinard for lunch at northern
France's most renowned fish restaurant, or land at the
seaside resort of Deauville famous for its racecourse
and golf links, followed by a short road trip for lunch in
the pretty town of Honfleur. Afterwards we fly you
home.
This day requires approximately 10 hours door-to-door;
