Default Nice one, Mark

Thanks for sharing this with us...

I had a flu-ish thing developing so I didn't go to the dawn service as planned. Then as it was a nice day there was pressure to stay home, so I watched part of the parade on TV where they had a nice big shot of Euan's CGT with the commentators struggling to describe it - in fact they said it had been "lovingly restored by the strike group" then described it as the property of the VMVC... at least they said it was a blitz buggy, but also said it was used as a tractor on a farm.
There is no excuse for this sort of "make it up as you go". I'll have to have a chat to the TV station to volunteer next year as an extra commentator!

Around midday I went out to the tank museum to film more material and interviews which is when my day started to look a little like yours, as John walked straight into the raised forks of the forklift (and went down) then they struggled to start the Alligator without result, leading John to call it the same anatomical name he used for the Cent whan that wouldn't start. The DVD I'm making may have some bleeping in it.
