Horsa Gliders, old and new


The Airspeed AS.51 Horsa was a British troop-carrying glider used during the Second World War. It was developed and manufactured by Airspeed Limited, alongside various subcontractors; the type was named after Horsa, the legendary 5th-century conqueror of southern Britain. (Wikipipedia.) More information on Wikipedia under "Airspeed Horsa".
This picture shows the remains of one of the original gliders from World War II and (reflected in the glass) a modern reconstruction. These form part of the Memorial Pegasus Museum at Ranville which commemorates the landing of troops (in Horsa Gliders) at Pegasus Bridge and Horsa Bridge in June 1944.
