New info from the L-birds organisation:
++++++++++++++++++++++
You must contact Deauville as the airspace is going to be very busy on the 7th, with all spaces up to 4000 ft allocated to us, the two Dakotas formation, and the Patrouille de France.

PdF is new information to me. Rehearsal for Sunday?

PdF are displaying at Arromanches on the Saturday.
Does anyone have a list of all aircraft participating/rumoured for next week?

These 4 were seen at Saarbrücken yesterday heading for France:
14-08168
15-08195
16-08200
16-08202
I had an issue with my camera yesterday, so pix were not sharp at all. I checked again and indeed these are the ones.
Seen on 31-5 13:15LT over Arromanches 1x USArmy UH-60 heading W over the beach. White s/n on tail but too far to read.
By the way: A13/N13 between Caen, Bayeux and Carentan plus several roads to the beaches will be completely closed for all traffic on 6 June all day (starting 06:00LT).
USArmy Aviation have established a Forward Operating Base in a field near Carentan, between the city and the highway N13/A13.
On Saturday 1 June around 19:00LT we noted 4 CH-47 and 4 or 5 UH-60, some of which overflew Utah Beach some time before.
Happy hunting!

Do you perhaps have a GPS coordinate of this location?
Nope for the GPS, but it is the horse race track Hippodrome de Maurice de Folleville just northwest of the canal. Can't miss, already plenty of pics on Google Maps.
Local media report the Carentan camp as a Logistic Support Base for all US commemorative activities around D-day, so this may stretch beyond 6-6 into the weekend after.
Same media report as many as 7 Blackhawks and 4 Chinooks arriving at Carentan.
