Re: AFRA

Hey I'm a fan - between computer issues and my own stupidity it's taken me two years to join the AFRA ranks but now I'm here I'm happy to wave a flag for the Allied side of AFRA as well.

Re: Nene valley ?

Just to reiterate what I've put on WWII Reenactor's - many thanks to Andy, Matt, Mark and everyone else who made us so welcome. Only problem, Tom is if your going for those farby Gerbirgs you'd better count the Lovat's in as well cos whatever farby stuff they're wearing, we'd normally wear too ... a...
