These maps shows the route of XXX Corps in 1944, the event followed this route as far as practicable. It will help identifying where the various pictures and movies were shot.

Luckily the Tilly i drove had no problems with the fuel, and did the tour succesfully. Really enjoyed the week.
To clearify the fuel, it was regular army fuel with a additive to lower the influences of the 10 percent bio ethanol. This additive has some influence on the ignition so this may be altered a bit, especially motorbikes have this issue. Nice to meet some forum members and to finally have some faces with names :-) Rgds, Sjoerd

From reading through this thread it certainly looks like you all had a jolly good time! Even breaking down is part of the experience, although I bet it didn't feel like it at the time. Sorry that I couldn't make it along. I have missed so much this year I should just add it to my signature

It was puddle Jumper that decided to have a bar b que in the back . Interesting comment about the fuel vaporising at a lower temp . All will be well with PJ. We are fairly sure it was a static spark from a can . It was more a vapour fire than the actual vehicle . No one hurt, all over in a flash so to speak ( and 4 dry powder extinguishers ) . Contrary to roumer we were not throwing petrol everywhere before the fire . The vehicle was roasting hot after a 50 mile drive on a 28degree hot day.
