Greece to Normandy Convoy '09

Here is jim Sewell's C15A Radio Van sitting on its rims ready to go in a container from Perth to Istanbul. If you look back up this thread a couple of months back you should agree he has made wonderful progress.

Here is our completely revised route. If any Europeans are near our track, please come and have a beer.

... great, you can count me in

I guess the new route is much more spectacular than the old one. Do you have some time to make a lake cruise with a 100 year old big paddle steamer on Lake Lucerne?

Chris,

We well may have time to do that. I will see how the troops are going when we near Northern Italy. Looking forward to meeting you.

Just to keep everyone up to date. We now have our shipping dates.

The Kiwis have to get off the mark in about 3 weeks so their box can go to Melbourne to be transferred to the same ship everyone else is using. The Brisbane mob have their two boxes going down the coast mid February to do the same.

Jim Sewell with his Chevrolet radio van is heading off from the west coast on his own personal ship, hopefully to join our bunch of containers in Malta to be put on yet another ship for Istanbul.

I think we should have painted all the vehicles in Navy colours.

Just got the ute back from the canvas man. Managed to find a WW2 tent to cut up for material.

Looks pretty small to live in for 6 weeks!

... here's the official Normandie Memoire website for all the commemorations around D-Day. Although, not a lot is published yet
