Stefano Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well, another Normandy celebration has come and gone, and as usual, everything was an awful rush until the last minute, and I ran out of time trying to finish the WOT2 (and the James, and the 'flea....oh well). In the event, we brought up the Stuart, a M3A1 Scout car, a WC52, a G3/L, and the 3HW. We kept the vehicles at the Jeepest site at Englesqueville, and very nice it was too - Thanks Georges. As always there were some wonderful vehicles, but sadly not as many as there used to be I fear, their ranks being taken up by what seemed to be an endless procession of Jeeps (and M201's, M38's etc..). The record breaking DR motorcycle run was magnificent, it felt good just being there, and my thanks go to Ian Wright for his efforts, I'm sure that they were appreciated by everyone who was there. It was wonderful to meet so many veterans and a joy to hear the (often very funny) stories they had to tell, although the way that they were herded about in the rain at Arromanches for the greater glory of a few important chappies was less impressive, as was the fact that the Bayeux parade seemed to be made up almost entirely of American MV's - am I missing something here? Finally, I'd like to say thank you to the crew of a Bedford MW that supplied me and a mate (a very soggy pair of DR's) with tea and a canvas roof over our heads whilst we waited for the VIP's to depart Arromanches under the downpour, and how sorry I am not to have been able to meet any of you whilst I was there - I'll have to get myself better organised in future.
