... that Light Vessel 72(pictured), which helped mark the route to the Normandy landing beaches, has lain in a Welsh scrapyard since 1973? "D-Day's guiding light: 42 years in the River Neath [article is dated 2015] ... With "Juno" written in large letters on its hull, it helped guide British and Canadian landing craft to Normandy as part of Operation Overlord ... The vessel continued as a light station in the Bristol Channel until 1973 and was then sold to a metal scrap yard in Neath." from: Browne, Rob (19 November 2015). "Forty-two years in the River Neath but this rusty ship has a heroic D-Day past". WalesOnline. Retrieved 12 August 2020.
