Paul Visser's Fox on its first outing after a 13 year restoration:
C60X, ex-Johan van Rijn, now Roy Aalderson: Ford Lynx of the Royal Netherlands Army collection, Cavalry Museum: C8A HUP, cut-down and fitted with a makeshift body. I spoke to the owner (sorry I forgot your name) and he told me he is probably going to leave it this way and enjoy it as is: Jakob Oud, F60L: These pictures were made at the Liberation Task Force's XXX Corps basecamp at Dommelen, The Netherlands, Source: https://www.facebook.com/pg/kuinemil...91692141058246

veteran
In 2009 I met a Market Garden veteran . A friend of mine lives at Newborough near Moe, Clem said " come over and meet the paratrooper " Alec was late 80's . Alec said the training in the UK was dangerous , his mob lost two when two guys landed in a marsh and drowned , while training on land mine clearing , a mine exploded killing somebody just next to Alec. He said he was flown over to Norway for the German round up after the surrender and the other aircraft carrying his unit crashed with all on board killed. Alec described in detail his escape in Holland , he wandered around in pitch black and into a German camp just as the sun came up . He said they ran out of drinking water and some were killed crawling out to find water
Alec was flown back all expenses paid for the last reunion they had .
