Hi Alex,

The QL was mine, the GMC and Lend Lease Chev drivers are not on MLU
You're kidding! So, were you the one that asked me if this was the location of the MLU meeting and I said " I certainly hope so" ? And we had a look at the C60X afterwards? Hmm, I should have introduced myself

Hi Alex,

What a small world, sorry for not introducing myself, I do remember we were looking at Danny's C60X.

Your photo..........that was taken down the road after leaving Longues camp, I thought at the time that would be nice photo, when I saw you taking it, thanks for posting

By the way, there was another MLU member with us in the QL, Rick from Australia, known as Lynx42.

... well, it's not really a Normandie meeting, but I met Jill & Rick yesterday at a small Swiss MV meeting. I've introduced them to the organisers, so they could park their mobile home at the show ground and had a good drive with different tracked vehicles.

Rick & I joined an excellent ride in a former Swiss T16 carrier. As an experienced Bren Gun Carrier Driver (Thanks to Max & Matt ) I can say that the Ford T16 has much more better cross-country abilites and performs excellent in muddy country. I'll filmed the drive as well so watch out soon on youtube.

Default Etreham Camp

I was staying in Port En Bessan, but viewed the fireworks from Omaha with Glenn Cairncross.

Good to see you Richard at the Campsite at Etreham.

Hi Bruce,

It was great to see you there, pity we were not able to have longer to chat. Just too much going on It has been many years since we last met.

Hope you enjoyed your stay in France and England
