D-Day CV-22's

[Tronk 11]

I haven't seen posted (but I'm sure someone will tell me different) theres two CV-22's marked up in D-Day markings, 50 and 65. Both seen today at Mildenhall.

Might be a daft question, I've probably missed this info- saw there was a practise the other day with 4× Mc-130s and 4x V-22s for a flypast. When/where is this due to take place? Many thanks in advance.

They went up this morning, seemed to be heading towards Cambridge

6 x c130 and 6 x v22, very impressive... C130s took off first did a circle of the field and then the v22s took off as the C130s went over the top, then all over the top

They gave us a 12 ship flyby at Duxford before heading off to France.

Is this formation to be repeated on Thursday 6th over the Normandy ? If so anybody know timings.
