Just returning to the ‘recreation / re-enactment’ theme.
My son is fascinated by all things military and especially WW11. Last year I took him over to Normandy for a tour of the invasion beaches – a very worthwhile experience and I was much impressed with the friendliness of the locals and the obvious respect they had for the allied forces that liberated them. Looking to do a repeat this year and was surfing the web for ideas at the weekend – discovered by chance that there is a fairly major ‘re-enactment’ of the landings at the American beaches (Omaha & Utah) at the beginning of June. From what I could see of the details on the web, it looked as if there would be a pretty good turnout of Warbirds.
Whatever, it gets us away from all the Golden Jubilee malarky, so I’m booking the ferry!
