Hopefully, there'll be a lot of photos !
I'm intending to post a small selection in a separate thread, and I hope to get some "then & now" pics for that thread too, possibly posting some when still in Normandy, depending on available equipment/net connection.
However, when I eventually return home (I'll be back in Norfolk for a couple of days immediately after arriving back in the UK on 5th September), I'm aiming to commence a complete "travelogue" in my "Travels of Tel's Tin Tent" thread.
This will cover the entire trip, from departure from Newhaven, UK, arrival at Dieppe, France, and journeys through Normandy, to arrival back at the "Tin Tent" and a "campaign de-brief" barby and beer.
All battle sites and places of interest (buildings, strong-points, museums etc etc) will be photographed and posted, along with location maps and brief historic details of what happened where etc.
Although the primary aim is to cover key areas in the British and Canadian sector, we hope, if time allows, to visit at least some of the places and museum(s) further west in the American sector. We'll be based actually in Benouville, near Pegasus bridge, north east of Caen, so a fair distance from the American sector, though easily reached if we do have time.

A friend of a friend asked if these were worth a carton of his favourite beer. Stupid question.
The first is unamended, the second has AL 1 incorporated and includes Appendix 5 in the front pocket.
In both there are a number of colour pages and multiple foldouts.
My apologies for the poor photography.

I supplied them within 10 minutes. The pub was only a couple of hundred metres from where we were.
EDIT - I was not giving him time to change his mind.

I read Air Apaches and Jayhawk back-to-back a couple years ago. Two stellar books that go well together.

Slightly off topic but can anyone recommend a good book on the Battle of Kursk. There are of course a number of publications but if anyone has one they can suggest it would be appreciated.
David Glantz has published several books on the Battle of Kursk - all of them can all be recommended for reading.
Valery Zamulin is the best known contemporary researcher of the Battle of Kursk. He was deputy director of the Museum of the Battle of Kursk ("Prokhorovka Field"), but was forced to resign from this position - if I understand correctly, his work did not suit modern Russian propaganda.

Both appear to be bloody awesome (and both are for the same diorama project
