  1. BUT in real life when at 'Home' in Jersey spend more time under the ground than above it. :angel:

     

     

    Excellent, I too love to spend time underground, been a pastime of mine for longer than I can remember :-) Jersey is somewhere that I intend to explore when I get the time, which sites have you ventured to??

     

  2. I'm hoping to come along with Private P.Connor of the hmvf underground division, if you know of any bunkers/tunnels or any underground structures, please do come and find us and have a chat, a good place to find us might be the beer tent in the evenings!! :whistle:

  3. Back then as a nipper my best pals brother was out there in the Para's, unsure which section, fault on my part, but i can remeber him coming back from Germany owning a brand new XR3 escort in red, looked the bollox back then and this was of course before the injection model came out,.

     

    Wish i knew then what i have an idea of now..... a very brave man, hats off...

  4. Pigs......poooorr pppooorrr Pigs :cry:

     

    What had they done? , some have wheel stations still? hmm.... can i just wander out and dismantle?

     

     

    Haha, after viewing the set of pics i was horrified!!

  5. Pointe Du hoc is a must Jack, a fair ole bit to explore and yeah, forget Caen, i wasn't that impressed with the museum there,. Of course the beaches are a must, visited Omaha and the nissen hut type museum, very well presented.

     

    On the way back to the Calais we went to Merville, where there were some heavy gun positions and another museum within one of the emplacements, unfortunately the nice french lady responsible for opening it, had trouble with the lock so we didn't get in !!

    The night before we explored a few bits outside of the 'site', was flooded to the top of waders! possibly the command bunker and accommodation area.

     

    Grand camp maisy is very much on the 'to do' list :whistle:

     

    :-D

  6. Oh my God Tony - great work.

     

    There are some real beauties there - those Pigs have had the hell whacked out of them.

     

    ..........surely, none of those could be restored :dunno:

     

    So Tony - we can we have an HMVF visit :-D

     

     

    Can someone help an idiot find the pics of the pigs please :oops:
