Vlak bij de schaapskooi op de Ginkelse hei in Ede staat het airbornmonument.
Het monument is in op 19 september 1960 door generaal-majoor Urquhart onthuld.
Het monument is geplaatst om de parachutisten te herdenken die bij de Slag om Arnhem gesneuveld zijn.

Op het stenen muurtje bij het monument staat de tekst
... zij zullen opvaren met vleugelen gelijk de arenden...

De Ginkelse Heide bij Ede was de luchtlandingsplaats waar op 18 september 1944 parachutisten van de 4e para brigade landden om deel te nemen aan de Slag om Arnhem. Het landingsterrein werd hieraan voorafgaand verdedigd door het 7e bataljon Kings Own Scottish Borderers.

Ieder jaar wordt op de derde zaterdag in september ter herdenking door huidige parachutisten van het Britse 4th Battalion op de Ginkelse Heide een luchtlanding uitgevoerd. Aansluitend vindt een kranslegging bij het monument plaats.
