      Bayeux was packed. Probably not that disimilar to fifty years previously. I've made a point of scanning many of these shots in monochrome for effect. I think they work really well.

        I forget this bloke's name. He's a Frenchman and a superb piper and was with the Gordon's contingent. The bloke in the HLI 'Tam' is also a Frenchman; he was totally HLI obsessed - right down to the tattoo of the regimental badge on his leg.

              ... to this RAMC blokey on his treader! This is my favourite photo, as it depicts the attention to detail that this individual has gone to, in what (to some) would seem rather mundane subject matter. He really looks the part.

                  Great photos, Tony! I like the B & W scans...definitely adds to the effect - some of the shots really do look period.

                  You looked so fresh-faced and eager 10 years ago...what happened?

                    Hello Tony,
                    nice selection of snaps, looking forward to more .
                    What i do find interesting is that the individuals (and groups) by and large look superb in their recreations to the extent that they surpass by far big budget productions on the small and big screen.
                    All done with budget of a typical "man on the street".
                    Hope you have some photos of some free French commandos somewhere...

                    Patrick.

                      Great photos, I would agree that the old mono affect works really well, I will keep my eye out for the others
                      Regards
                      Si

                          A... erm... Morris I think. Superbly restored - right down to the WD canvas bucket!

                              I've always wanted a go in one of these. Earlier in the day, the owner drove the beast in to the sea off Sword Beach for a tour of the coastline!

                                This is Omaha Beach. 7am on the 6th June - fifty years to the day. The weather was grey, cold and the sea was choppy. I think this has to be one of the best pics I took, as it represents so much. The guys in the GI uniforms added to the atmosphere - no talking, just the sound of the English Channel. Most of the ships are out of shot, but there were lots.
