Aerial view of Appledram ALG circa 1943

Looking south over what was once Appledram ALG

Anti-tank blocks along the southern perimeter of the landing ground. These were probably sited to obstruct the progress of enemy tanks coming ashore via the adjacent canal

The Handcraft Huts behind the trees may have been associated with the ALG, although are more likely to have been used by the Royal Navy who were also prevalent in the area during the build-up to D-Day

The Crown & Anchor pub, which is reputed to have been the frequent haunt of many a pilot from Appledram. This is understandable given the spartan facilities provided on the landing ground itself

Views from the Crown & Anchor pub of the adjacent shoreline. Its not difficult to see why even on a cold January's day why the pilots liked this spot so much
