It is always good to have time to visit the original Pegasus Bridge, now in the grounds of the Memorial Pegasus Museum in Normandy.

I first walked across the bridge, when it was still in its original location, in 1979 and was on it for the 40th anniversary in 1984. In the 1990s the Caen canal was widened and the bridge removed and replaced with a larger modern copy. For a while its future was uncertain but it was saved and is now very much the central part of this magnificent D-Day museum.
