The #Defense Secretary, #GrantShapps, has ordered an urgent review after it emerged there is a shortage of planes for a mass parachute drop to mark the 80th anniversary of #D-day

Hundreds of #paratroopers were expected to jump into #Normandy on the eve of #DDay to honour the actions of their predecessors in #WorldWarTwo, but plans have been scaled back due to a shortage of aircraft

The #MailOnSunday reported just one plane was left for the event
