Hi Erik Erik Hofman writes Hi All, It will be delighting to see the smiling old faces of the Canadian, Polish, American and Australian veterans carried around in old army vehicles all around the country. Your welcome Mate. I think us Aussies were there 30 years before with far more apalling loss of life. Have just finished celebrating 90 years of the ANZAC's. Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

I hope this chapter of German history serves for a long time as a reminder at where nations could get if they don't scrutinise the intentions of their political leaders.

In France we celebrate it last year It took a long time, to get freedom for you It was, back then the rumor of the allied forces liberating France filled the people with joy. Only to discover it took a very harsh winter with not enough food for everybody before the reached The Netherlands. In fact, the most casualties where in these few months of th winter of 1944. We can thank these old veterans I just did, every time a vehicle transporting one or more veterans they crowd started applauding. They sure seemed to enjoy their visit over her :-) Happy day Thanks, it was. Not only for me as I already pointed out. It will also be an opportunity to see some preserved WWII aircraft, like the B-25, B-17, P-51, Spitfire, Beech-18 and Harvard. could take one, reduce it, and include in FlightGear. :-D Erik ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Sadly due to falling membership they've just had to sell their club building, but have luckily found a new home with the local Territorial Army unit. Many of the items that were on the walls of the club have been given a new home (on loan) at my Air Training Corps unit. People can't go on forever, but their memories should. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
