Perhaps I will be thought to be ...out of touch ...living in the past ..etc etc but to my mind it is a day to remember those that fell and those that did what was asked of them ....Just had a email from De Ag suggesting I should buy a model Spitfire ...wrong wrong wrong...But what do I know....

Very interesting article Andy. 12 years ago I was fortunate enough to visit Pegasus Bridge and in our party were 4 of the solders that were on those gliders. watching them retrace their footsteps and laying a reef are memories ill never forget. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
