Awesome vid, I also loved the part through the trees, so nostalgic and you could just imagine what it might have been like, minus the artillery, etc..

Default What an awesome experience!

I echo the comments of Lynn and others, I am really envious of the experience you all had. Reading through the posts, there are comments on meeting up with MLU people for the first time: looking at many pictures I can see people I met at WnP this year.

The carriers did really well to travel so far, and in that heat.

The period uniforms and equipment really makes the scene authentic. (Hope we can persuade more of our lot to do the same).

Well done one and all.
Rob

Here is a nice picture book on the XXXCorps run.... I've bought a copy directly from the publisher last weekend at a fair, but I am pretty sure it will be available from from of the specialised MV book suppliers as well.

Don't expect in debt info on Market Garden, it's a MV picture book. Most vehicles that were in the XXXcorps event are in there.

publisher is Giesbers Media. ; Price is around 20 Euro's.


p.s. I have no relation to the seller, publisher or writer.
