    World War II Paratroopers shown sitting across from themselves in the same plane that dropped them into Normandy in 1944.

    Do the think it is factual? I realise they were all paratroopers but is it likely that they would all have survived? Still an awesome photo though.

    Looking on the net it appears to be ex paratroopers but not the exact opposite or the same people

    I’d be so scared/stressed after jumping in 1944 I think it’s entirely possible to look like the debonair lads on the right one day and feel/look like the gentlemen on the left the next day. Particularly after what they all experienced!

    Terrific. I watched that countdown to D DAY the other day. From it they expected to lose all the paratroops.

    Great viaduct, shame modern trains are so ugly - not like the chuffing, fire breathing, steam belching dragons of the past. Toot-Toot...
