Down Ampney, a small village near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, played an important role in both the Arnhem (Operation Market Garden) and the D-Day Landings (Operation Overlord).
Training of glider pilots and Parachute practice/training took place there and, for both operations, gliders were towed from Down Ampney to the battlefields carrying troops, equipment, vehicles and ammunition.
