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.

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.

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?
