Default MLUer's spotted!

Watching the coverage of the liberation parade on CBC in Apeldoorn, Holland, spotting none other than our very own Brian Gough and Barry Churcher.
Riding atop Dirk Leegwaters armoured veh, looking very wet, but extremely proud and happy!

Those be the buggers. The shot on CBC was so quick that I was fortunate enough to pick out our buds.
I actually thought that CBC's coverage was rather poor, especially the sound and the correspondents stupid questions. Why do they not send soemone with a bit of knowledge to cover such things?

Hanno, I do stand corrected. The shot on CBC was rather quick and I made an assumption. Thanks for straightening me out.

Hi there, I made the photo's you are talking about.. I have more but most of them are not focused because of the bad weather(long exposure time). So if you are intressed I can send you more (bad) photo's...

I was wondering, where do you know these veterans from?

Greetings,

Harry
