Just taken grandson to Dakota park playground and noticed two things. The soft play matting on floor ok small kids playground is a map of the UK an Europe . Also on the entrance etched in the metal are two Daks , both have Z engraved on vertical tail fin. As that lunatic Putin is also using Z on his invasion force, does Z have a military meaning . Or just pure coincidence

'Z' was the unit tail code used by the USAAF Wing that provided the Dakota aircraft for the paratroop drops during the D-day invasion and subsequent drops during the march across Europe. Nothing sinister.
Even today, reflecting their WWII service, the 100th ARW at Mildenhall have 'D' on the fins of their KC-135s.
