A well deserved break, I'm sure. Enjoy!

Putting aside my feelings of envy, have a great time and look forward to hearing how it went. One day i will hopefully get to do the same...

... so who's casting ... wait ... I don't have any orders waiting ...

Enjoy yourself. You deserve a good break.

[Dave]

Thanks all I will, looking forward to a few drinks on the night

Landing 5am at Dieppe at Thursday, strangely no museum.

I was very fortunate to get to Normandy for a couple of days in 2015 with Mrs Shy.

There is lots to see and do there. I found Omaha beach and the large US cemetary above the beach quite a moving experience.

My main reason for going though was to find where my fathers LCT came ashore on Nan Red with the first wave. We located the exact spot in the end without too much trouble.

So we (well l did anyway 😀) had a great couple of days.

Have a good trip Dave ☺

I understand they do a dish with mussels and cider that one can easily learn to love....

Great place to visit Dave. I went with a group in 2012 and had a very enjoyable and interesting visit, particularly Pegasus Bridge and Omaha Beach. Don't forget the Bayeux Tapestry and the great food and drink - especially Calvados.

Normandy, the best place for wargamers to visit. Great food, fantastic cider and more military museums than you can shake a stick at!

We've been twice on the Tring Wargames Club Overseas Battlefield Tours, one time covering the British/Canadian end when we stayed just on Juno beach and the other covering the American end when we stayed just on Utah. There's just too much to see it all in one trip! Have a great time Dave.

Might sound a bit odd this - go somewhere special - and get some soil for your bases! The beaches are obvious, but try to go up Hill112. Take a jam jar and bring back some basing material.

Calvados et Moules......

A visit to La Cambe Cimitiere Allemande and the Museum at Dead Mans Corner is an absolute must. Both are within driving distance to do both in the same day behind Omaha and Utah beaches respectively.

For non-military jaunts (although it has 100 years wars connections) Mont St Michel is a wonderful day out.

Very, very jealous

Hi

I'm sure you will have a great time. If you can a visit to the German cemetery at La Cambe is worth while to see the contrast in styles between the German, US and British cemeteries. When I was there last, purely by accident, I came across Michael Wittman's grave.

My son is going to Normandy for 5 days in July with his school and I'm such a good parent that I'm taking him again about 3 weeks later after a week in the Loire (whether he likes it or not)!

Have a great time.

Cheers Paul

Awesome............not that I'm any way jealous
