The Horsa glider carried up to thirty troops or a mix of troops and stores including a jeep. It was first used by British Airborne forces in November 1942 in Norway. That mission was a failure due to weather but set a precedent. Further missions took place in Sicily and elswhere in the Mediterranean TO.
British forces used mass parachute and glider landings on the Eastern end of the Normandy invasion beaches while the US forces did the same at the Western end. Horsa gliders were used alongside Waco CG-4A gliders by US forces as part of their assault.
British airborne went on to use the Horsa on major operations at Arnhem. Southern France and the Rhine Crossing.

British Island Airways (BIA) was the legal successor to British United Island Airways (BUIA). It commenced operations under that name in mid-1970. Ten years later it merged with Air Anglia, Air Wales and Air Westward to form Air UK, at the time the UK's biggest regional airline and its third-largest scheduled operator. In 1982 British Island Airways was reconstituted by splitting off the charter operation Air UK had inherited from BIA at the time of its creation into a separate company.
The reconstituted BIA ceased operations in 1991. Thanks to Manfred Jahn for his great model!
