World War II aircraft delighted crowds at Ardmore Airport to commemorate D-Day yesterday.
Harvards, Tiger Moths, Albatrosses, Strikemasters and Kittyhawks filled the Auckland skies in a spectacular airshow.
This Saturday, June 6, marks the allied invasion of Normandy, France, in Operation Overlord in 1944.
