On saturday we drive from the landing zone to the bridge of Arnhem, and back to the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek for a static display.

Our Race to the Bridge will end at the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek. The timetable and route will be a bit different this year due to roadworks.
We will, as usual, drive through Oosterbeek between 15:45 and 16:00. We invite you to come and visit us there or along the route.
