The Arromanche Sherman

[wibblywobbly]

I have been to Arromanche a zillion times, but always forgot to take pics of the Sherman, so here's a couple I took yesterday. I saw a Churchill on the way back to the port but as it was dark and had a ferry to catch I will have to get a snap some other time.

A great part of the world...did you get anywhere near Bayeux ?

[wibblywobbly]

Thats not my lid, it belongs to a friends wife. We actually hid behind the Sherman and pretended we had gone without her! 

Here are some more pics from earlier visits. They are from the British War Cemetery at Bayeaux.

Now theres somewhere I've always wanted to go. Nice pics too WW.  I cant help noticing they've painted the tracks on that Sherman though... Tut. Couldnt get the track pins out eh?

careful what thy wishes for bro, Billy was talking about a lads trip later in the year. Quick dash, early morning start from teh farm over on the ferry. You up?

Yes if funds will allow. I was wondering if the forum would maybe do a club visit? Anyone else interested in joining us?

I'd better get my passport renewed then.

Oh BTW. Rocketman, is Billys par le vue France-a  up to the task or should we bring a phase book?

Nick.
