Wow, Great pics

I have visited the area quite a few times and never cease to be moved by the memorials and militaria which is there. It has quite a different feel to the battlefields of the First World War which I have spent more time travelling round.
Did you visit the Airbourn Museum in Ste Mere-Eglise Martin? That was a very impressive sight. I posted images from there last year.

Thanks for all your kind replies.
I had a great time over there with my family.

@Duncan
Sadly enough we didn't have time to visit the museum in Ste Mere Eglise.
We started in St Aubin sur Mer and had decided to drive straight to Ste Mere Eglise and from there to UTAH and OMAHA beach and the cemetery in Colleville.
I already visited GOLD,JUNO and SWORD beach.
This completed two of my goals in this vacation.
Visiting all D-day landing beaches and visiting the Colleville cemetery.
I'm sure I will visit the Airborn Museum next time.
It's only 750km.

BTW, I did visit this club in St Aubin sur Mer just before we went back to the Netherlands.

Michael,

I didn’t get permission to shoot, because I left my license at home.
I just checked out the place.
Didn’t take many pictures, it was a bit too dark.
They had 3 ranges: 10, 25 and 50 meters.
Here are 2 pictures of the 50 meter range.
Sorry about the quality.






No nifty story this time Michael.


Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

Duncan sent me this hat from a club he used to belong to in Blayais. The logo looks to be related.
