| When
you like to speak to these people, you bet it cost you some time ! |
.JPG) |
|
.JPG) |
| Most
of them tell you all about their vehicle, uniform, you ask it and they
name it ! |
.JPG) |
| It
has nothing to do with 'glorify' the war, but they all kan explain what
it's really about... |
.JPG) |
|
.JPG) |
| It's
about hobby, restoring, social contacts... and the war period had it's
good things also... |
.JPG) |
| ...
it brought people together in very hard times, risking your life for
others... |
.JPG) |
| ...
but this is far too complicated to explain in a few sentences. So better
enjoy this Spitfite ... ;-) |

| Pilots
relax as they did in wartimes, waiting for a 'Scramble' ... (do have a
cookie from grandma's tin) |

completely rigged 'ready for action' motorbikes and Jeeps... |

well worth a visit ! |
