Ed....it's a small world, as the only other CMP yesterday, was....I think....one and the same ex-John Marchant HUW, albeit it's definately not looking as tidy anymore.

Hanno, thanks again for the invitation; it was a great day!

Default Toronton Scottish HUW

Yup, that is John's Tor Scot HUW looking a little worse for wear. Here are a few photographs from our Normandy tour in 1984.
