Last D-Day craft makes final journey after Portsmouth revamp

    24 August 2020
 

In later years, the craft was even used as a nightclub

The last surviving D-Day tank landing craft has been moved on to dry land following its final journey on water.

LCT 7074 was renovated with a National Heritage Lottery fund £4.7m grant ahead of its permanent display at the D-Day Story museum in Southsea.

It had been due to be delivered on the 76th anniversary of D-Day in June but this was delayed due to coronavirus.

The craft has travelled from Portsmouth Naval Base to Southsea ahead of being installed at the museum.
