D-DAY gliders
I love this photo from Facebook of Invasion gliders at Netheravon, Wiltshire following a rehearsal for D-Day

Re: D-DAY gliders
The story of UK Military gliding during WW2 is told in a very interesting book “The Wooden Sword” written by Lawrence Wright, published in 1967.

Looks more like an Airspeed Oxford to me - Anson has a curved TE to the rudder and windows all down the sides of the fuz.
