Default ARP stuff

Seen to the right of the ute , is a pile of dirt . Is that a slit trench ? Now that's a keen addition to the whole atmosphere of the camp site.

BTW at a local dispoosals store last Saturday, I spotted for sale - A 1918 vintage military horse drawn wagon, made in Switzerland . A 1959 Swiss made .5 metre searchlight with generator and a 1944 2 wheeled cart , Swiss made . All items were in original cond.

Well, the show is over and was a great success. I have written a story on the whole expedition on 'word" but don't know how to get it up here for all to read - Jif, Hanno?

Default Well done to all

Glad to have caught up with some of you in the Etreham campsite, i was in a civvy vehicle with my 65-D-Day plastic number plate, I spent my week based in Port-En-Bessan, and was billeted on 5th june in a house 75 metres from the Omaha memorial. Great event for this first timer to Normandy.

Currently still in UK, will be back in Sydney 24th.
See you Graeme and Mick at the next club event.

Bruce
