Recap: LCT 7074 makes her way to new home outside Southsea's D-Day Story museum
The last remaining landing craft that carried tanks to France on D-Day has taken pride of place outside Southsea’s D-Day Story museum.
LCT 7074 has been restored in Portsmouth after falling into disrepair – after an eventful life that saw her used as a nightclub at one stage.
Now the landing craft will become a landmark in Portsmouth outside the renowned D-Day Story.
The vehicle, which landed on Gold Beach in the invasion of Normandy, has arrived on Southsea seafront this morning ahead of its installation outside the museum.
The vessel was towed on a barge from Portsmouth Harbour to the seafront in the middle of the night, before being brought up to Clarence Esplanade.

For the project team this was also their 'last chance' to bring her ashore, after an attempt on Saturday night was abandoned due to strong winds.
