There is just one place remaining on our trip to Normandy next year, 17th to 19th June. I have attached the itinerary for anyone interested. If you are please message me.
Unfortunately two people have had to drop out from our trip in June so there are two places available. If anyone is interested in joining us there is an itinerary attached above. Please message me if interested.
I think we all enjoyed the various hostelry's of Bayeux tonight, some more than others though. Five of us having a last drink about 11.30pm on the terrace of the Campanile spotted a certain lifer having to be helped back to the hotel by three of his comrades. Disgraceful behaviour.
Hope you are having a geat time. I went in the 80s. The courage of our soldiers was amazing and it really brings home their risk and sacrifice. I know it affected me greatly. I don't know how much things have changed. One thing I hope is still there is the parachute on the St Mere eglise church.
Gutted to have had to drop out last minute especially as I bring the average age of the group down by such a lot and I make all the group photos look so much better too but I’ll be back on the next one….
Hope everyone has a good time and doesn’t get too sweaty in this weather….
The vehicle is a Sexton - self propelled howitzer - British - for some reason, at the time, we named all our self propelled artillery with religious names - there was also a ‘Priest’ a ‘Deacon’ and a ‘Bishop’ - post war we had the ‘Abbott’ - we no longer use religious names

just joking, have a great trip
Now heading to Bayeux for Beers before we hit Juno and Gold Beaches in the morning.
Pegasus bridge was amazing no where near the size you think it is . The glider crew who took it deserve our admiration.
