The Christian Drouin distillery is just down the road from the Bénouville bridge, but it's more famously known as Pegasus Bridge. This was the first area of France to be liberated on D-Day. On the 6^th of June 1944, before helicopters came into service, the glider regiment crash landed wooden gliders, at 90 miles per hour within meters of this bridge and stormed it, taking it for the allies. The Ox and Bucks used the code phrase "Ham & Jam" to announce the success of the mission, that's why that appears on the label and the colours used are representative of the glider and para regiments.
