Friday we had a nice evening with many of the Australians & Keith Orpin. Later on Alex van de Wetering turned up as well. We ended the evening watching the fireworks at Port-en-Bessin. It was very good to be among MLU friends from across the globe! Hanno

Ha , I was standing on the other side of Port En Bessin on the German observation post , from there you could watch the fireworks till Asnelles ,brilliant how at the four places you could see the same firework at the same time intervals. If I turned around I could see another one from Omaha.
Passed Etreham several times , but never visited the camsite , saw the Australian vehicles anyway everywere along the coast.

Parts for Aussie
... on last Friday Hanno and I met John & Fiona for a little traditional Aussie BBQ on Micks & Graems Jeep-Grill.
Hanno brought from Dirk some parts for Max's Cab 11. From left to the right: Hanno (Dutch liaison Officer between Max & Dirk), John (Aussie Blitz Transport & Import Ltd.), and me (Swiss Paying Agent).  As you can see on the pics, it was a little bit cold for John, the temperature dropped to 16 degrees... Just kidding, it was freezing cold (with the windchill factor), sitting on the coast and watching the fireworks on Port en Bessing on June 5 at 2300.

The day of the MLU-meeting I was a little ill and we started the day quite late. Later on, we were held up in Arromanches and arrived at Longues-sur-Mer for the MLU meeting somewhere in the afternoon, a few hours after the start of the meeting. We were walking around the Dutch camp when a GMC, Aussie Chev and Bedford QL also arrived for the MLU meeting. It was fun talking to these guys, although the club was quite small. I guess everyone had other commitments that day...so eventually some MLU members did visit Longues, but spread over the whole day, making a real meet-up difficult.
Anyway, we met Swiss Chris, John Hedges, Lang, Hanno and Jim Sewell at the campsite later in the week and caught up on some CMP/MLU talk anyway. Dropped the bike tires for Keith Webb in the back of John hedges' truck. The Etreham campsite was super and it was fun being surrounded by MV's all the time. I remember coming out of the tent one morning, when I found a very nice Humber Snipe right in front of our tent....so walked back in the tent to get the camera. I finished the brakes on my BSA bike on the campsite in the morning-sun and even drove some km's along the coast, like intended
