Hi Barry,

You don't have to worry about Sally Anne, She went to Normandy last year and has just had a tune up ready for Guernsey's 70th liberation celebrations in May.


And John, if you're going to go all that way make sure you come back loaded! In Weatherby we were pushing tyres under the LAAT, stacking them on the limber. We used up every strap I have. Can't wait till Monday for the big unload !

James
