Hmmm, I'm not sure I'd trust Kitty to do anything but push me over a cliff.

If you can't make the forum dates i can get dates from my contact when other tours are being taken out there.
If you would like to go on a tour let me know.

Take care

Welcome Sapper,

Tell us a bit about yourself in the introduction thread.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Hi Tony,

Can you PM your email address and i'll get Colin to contact you. I'm sure he'll be happy to help you out with a tour. He's very experienced and has been going over to to Normandy for quite a few years now.

Take care
Mike (Sniper)
