Re: NORMANDY 2014
Our usual group has now doubled to 11 going, hope to be staying up near Colleville again as per usual walking distance from that nice new Museum and the American cemetery above Omaha.
Francie (Telford) is joining us this year , so meeting up would be good if it could be arranged.
We hope to be over from 5th to 10th.

Re: NORMANDY 2014
We will be staying near Vierville Sur Mere ( Omaha Beach ) for the week James , there will be 20+ guys in our group plus two German WW2 vets who fought in Normandy . We will have possibly ten motorbikes and one kubelwagen in our group so we must link up . Lets keep in touch
Re: NORMANDY 2014
Sounds like quite a gathering Justin.
We are staying at Colleville just up the road from the new museum. there is a collectors fair at Vierville at the West end of the town just before you take the right turn down to the Beach and just below the Museum. It is usually a good morning out we will be there about 9.30 am.
Some good dealers there and the odd good deal can be had. (Will check date and get back to you.

Re: NORMANDY 2014
Would be interested in knowing the fair dates James . We were at the one in Vierville last year and good some great deals , roll on June !!!
Re: NORMANDY 2014
Justin, St Mer Eglise is on the 4th June, brought forward because of the events of the 6th June , large market shed just opposite the church look around there you will fund it no problem, always a very very good fair.
