Sad duty for the frankencarrier
Funeral procession for Maj. L. Beglaw, RWestmrR. Unfortunately some of the more complete and restored carriers were not available for this sad duty. Very honoured to take part and fulfil one of his last wishes.

Beautiful gesture Hans.....
Hans.....nice that you could spare the time and vehicle. I was involved with the first orchestrating of an event like this, with a Fallen Westy in Afghanastan and to this day it still moves me to tears. Good on ya' mate! Robert

On another point Hans......
Not a sad moment...but a PROUD moment! And Richard...as my cousin said ( a Provincial Court Judge in Ontario Canada) Death is the final say, the last "kick at the cat".....so if you have a "will" to leave or an "epitaph" to write .....make it count! Be Remembered! Robert
