Guernsey 70th liberation celebrations
 

Here is Mike Burns' HUP and the C15ta at Portsmouth waiting for the ferry to Guernsey.

After a very rough crossing we arrived safely!

The TA at Battery Dollmann and one of the 22cm Schneider guns that has been remounted in part of the restored battery.

A few CMPs in Guernsey
 

A brilliant trip to Guernsey to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation.

Very well organised by Stuart, Paul and the rest of the GMVG team.

The F60 was driven up from Switzerland, and not surprisingly won the trophy for "Furthest Driven"

James, John,

Thanks for sharing pics. Judging by the below pic, seems it was hard work and bad weather :D :thup2:

James, what is the new insignia/shield below your wife's name and could you please send a close up?

Hi Barry,

It is the symbol for Force 135, the liberators of the Channel Islands in 1945. A friend had some magnetic ones made up for the parade.

Here are many more photos to enjoy (not mine):

I see many familiar vehicles taking part. Looks like a good time was had by all!
