a grand day on the training area

[shaun]

to true, loads of interesting places, there were 4 villages evacuated. once clear of Civis the army moved in, dug in and shelled the places. one of old RVs was a pub called the "Cock inn" in reallity in was just a pile of rubble grassed over with the odd bit of wall sticking out. Tottington Village is fairly complete with many building being repaired for troops to fight from ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottington,_Norfolk ). at one of the old big farm houses ( i mean a pile of rubble) there is still the relativly flat area of grass with 2 iron posts sticking up that use to be the tennis court. this was the training area that most of the Dads Army shows were filmed in fact in the 3rd photo i posted the area behind the carrier is the ground they run up with pyro and smoke going off while the credits are rolling.
