Sole surviving D-Day landing craft gets restoration go-ahead for display at D-Day Museum
An original D-Day veteran Landing Craft Tank (LCT) rescued from the dockside at Birkenhead is to be restored and displayed at the D-Day Museum in Portsmouth thanks to an investment of nearly £5m from The National Lottery Fund.
Planned to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings in 2018, the restoration and unveiling of LCT 7074 will be the culmination of a long campaign and rescue operation to recover the craft, which originally landed on the coast of Normandy on the evening of June 6th 1944 loaded with tanks and crewmen.
