Market Garden. Arnhem by Graeme Lothian.
Paratroopers of the 1st Battalion sort their kit out and get ready to enplane the waiting American Dakota C-47s of the 14 and 59 Squadrons/61st Troop Carrier Group. The paratroops took off simultaneously from Saltby and Barkston, commencing at 1121. All planes were in the air by 1155. A relatively uneventful trip over the northern route to the Netherlands resulted in not a plane being shot down; only five were slightly damaged. The 1st Battalion were dropped at 1403, 2nd Battalion at 1353 and the 3rd Battalion at 1356, all at DZ-X, west of Wolfhezen some eight miles west of Arnhem. The Battalion orders were for three different routes to the Arnhem Bridge. 1st Battalion took the Leopard route, 2nd Battalion Tiger route and the 3rd Battalion Lion route. Only the 2nd Battalion, commanded by Lt colonel John Frost managed to fight their way to the bridge.

Arnhem
- September 17th 1944 by Graeme Lothian Eight minutes after the
gliders had touched down at LZ-Z the first of the paratroops started to
arrive at 1353. Thirty six C47s over DZ-X dropped the 1st
Battalion Parachute Regiment at 1403. On the ground are the
discarded chutes of the 2nd Battalion dropped ten minutes earlier.
In the middle distance can be seen the blue smoke used to identify DZ-X,
left by the 21st Independent Para Company. Dropped by the 14 and
59 Sqn/ 61 Troop Carrier Group which had taken off from Barkston Heath,
Lincolnshire, the 2nd and 3rd Para Battalions, which dropped slightly
earlier had enplaned at Saltby airfield. Between 1353 and 1408
2276 paratroops jumped at an altitude of between 700 to 900ft.
