Membury will soon become the home of the C47A65DL known as "Night Fright" which is being restored to flight at Coventry Airport. What is unique about the project is that C47 'Night Fright' operated from Membury in WWII as part of the 436th Troop Carrier Group, and will be the only airworthy warbird to fly from its actual WWII airfield.
As friends of the team behind C47 'Night Fright', it became one of the first collaborative product of the Warbird Coffee Company.
Each bag sold directly contributes to the restoration of this unique aircraft, which dropped Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division over Normandy and Holland in WWII, delivered British Troops to Southern France during Operation Dragoon, dropped supplies to the 101st at Bastogne, and carried members of the 17th Airborne Division to Germany during Operation Varsity.
