Unknown user says
I'm certainly no WWII expert, but I believe the aircraft seen here are Douglas C-47 models of the 75th Troop Carrier Squadron, (bearing CK squadron markings).
The gliders they're seen towing are Airspeed Horsa gliders of the RAF.

There are also aircraft of the 76th Troop Carrier Squadron, (bearing CW squadron markings).
