"This Horsa Glider is a replica of the aircraft that were used during the Second World War. Special about this device is that original parts have been used to complete it. There are only two of these around the world. Approximately four thousand Horsa Gliders were produced until 1946. None of these devices have been preserved. That is why this exact replica with original parts is a very special asset to the museum" according to the Warmuseum website

Built for the film 'A Bridge Too Far'.

Cockpit section of an unknown Horsa, the most famous British glider type. These not only played an important role during the Normandy Invasion, but later also during 'Operation Market Garden' in September 1944.

Apart from the Horsa replica the Pegasus Memorial Museum also has an original center section preserved in a shed. Unfortunately the identity of this part is unknown.

This aircraft represents PF800, the first Horsa to land near Pegasus Bridge in the night of 5 to 6 June 1944.

This is a composite forward fuselage composed of some unidentified fuselage sections.
