Hanno, thanks for that... it's pretty neat. I wonder, though, how they get the rights to sell work that already have acknowledged copyrights? Or Am I missing something here (my French is pretty rusty).

BTW anyone, go into their Recherche >> Mots-cles page and just type in the word 'canadien'... that'll keep you busy for a while... :)

BTW Stewart....
 

Here's your new camouflage scheme.... :D

Nooo...... they've just driven through a haystack !! There is a Ford WOA2 in the background.

Never having seen this picture before, damned if I wasn't mightily surprised to see it on page 93 of Bouchery's book, which came in the mail just today!

That Ram Tank photo....
 

Hi there

I've seen a copy of the same photo. Another from the same series appears on the cover the 'The Ram Tank' (see attached: the trooper now sits in the auxilliary turret)

But notice how the colour of the tank has changed from brown (SCC No.2) in one to a lightish Khaki in another.

We are simply going to have to invent a time machine and send someone back to the Second World War with a FS595 chip book.
