I've been watching Pink Panther movies, and a really good source for the French accent is "Allo,'Allo" - good moaning !

We'll get some pics for you Evan, but bear in my that the trees, and especially the vegetation around the pond, have grown and changed a lot since 1944.

Beauty, cheers Terry and Karl.
If there are any of the tall grasses that the third glider landed in, that would be great.
(And yeah, looking at net photos, it looks nothing like the stony field they landed in!)

We'll try Evan, if it's not too boggy around that area !

Just about to set off for the "Tin Tent", where the weather is fine and hot - 27C forecast, and in the mid 30c range at Benouville next week - scorchio !!
