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! James

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   H. DSC02922.jpg

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.
