Flypast is highlight of festival for D-Day
Accrington Observer
|April 25, 2025
A FLYPAST by the iconic Douglas C47 Dakota has been confirmed for the highly-anticipated 2025 #AmazingAccrington Food Festival and D-Day Commemoration event.
-
The remarkable aircraft, a key figure in Second World War history, will soar over Accrington in tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the Allied Forces on Saturday, June 7.
The Dakota ZA947, known as 'Kwicherbichen', played a pivotal role during the war, including paradropping operations on the eve of D-Day, casualty evacuations and vital supply missions.
A special war re-enactment will take place in the grounds of St James Church at 1pm.
Today, Dakota ZA947 remains an integral part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), where it is displayed both solo and in formation, while also serving as a training aircraft for pilots and aircrew of the Flight’s Lancaster bomber.
The Accrington Food Festival and D-Day Commemoration will take place from 10am to 4pm in the town centre.
