Rick W Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Off with the family next week to Guernsey. It was my better halfs choice as I would have preferred Normandy, but she thinks I would spend the days going rounds scrapyards and rummaging in outbuildings. So Guernsey this year it is. Its been many , many years since Ive been there, and remember the Underground hospital and Mirus Battery, but can anyone else recommend anywhere else to visit? And are there any scrapyards there? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Someone has to go there, if only to turn the light out. :evil: Enjoy don't forget the carrots. (Crapaud's rule) If you must, look at the CIOS web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 369 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 As Tony said look at the cios website and if necessary contact them ,they were very helpful when I did.Richard Heaumes museum in Forest is very good as is the La Vallete military museum in St Peterport,fort Hommet is also well worth a look and also battery Dolmen with its fire control tower. there are also many bunkers etc spread around the island many of which are easily accesible although they have been stripped of most fittings they are quite clean inside and have suffered little or no vandalism so are worth seeing if such things interest you. When in St Peterport visit thr Guernsey press shop as they have a good selection of books on the occupation which will make finding things easier. As for scrap yards I cant remember any and to be honest on such a small island with so many collectors I would not get your hopes up for finding any hidden gems Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
