You're Top Poster: #11   | Battlefield Tour I have just been in contact with an old friend who has just started his own company which takes people on tours of WW2 battlefields. If the forum wishes i can set up a tour for you all of the battlefields of Normandy. I'll get reduced rates for the forum so if anyone is interested please let me know and we could all go as a group if we can agree a date in the future. 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 Mike (sniper)

 I'm sure we could get your wheelchair in somewhere and get Kitty to push you round. If we don't get enough people to make the trip perhaps we could arrange the trip between us, would make it cheaper as well if some wanted to use campsites. Sniper
