I have a copy of ‘Cheval’ Lallemands account. It was quite a thing. From memory he was called to scramble basically, and got up in time to RV in the area of the raid instead of the original RV point. Can’t post the text i’m afraid (not ethical), and can’t remember it all.
If it’s the one i’m thinking of, from what I know (from a while back)it is being done superbly well by a team dedicated to making it just how it was. I hope all is going well with it.
Looks great in those pics! What excellent condition.
I didn’t like the red spit etc. I don’t much care for the silver Spit around now. Personal taste. But that said, you can always close your eyes and listen. Whatever it takes to preserve them is one thing, preference is another. I’d like to think that Coca Cola wouldn’t paint it in that way – does anyone seriously think thye would?
