    Talking Lucky Day

    Yesterday (wednesday) I saw a Sturmgeshutz III Ausf. F or G passing before my eyes on a transporter truck, a few hours later hearing a noise I looked up to the sky and saw a P51 Mustang flying by.
    I live near Antwerp Airport.

    OK you can start hating me

    Passed a Bren carrier on a low-loader on the M3 heading South-West, whilst on my way to my sons at Tidworth on Friday 18th June.
    Mega p*ssed off that I couldn't get a photo because I was on my bike in lane 3 doing about 80mph at the time!!

    PS: I should have, somewhere, a photo of a B17 or B24 in flight over RAF Waddington a few years ago, I will have to have a look for it and post it if I find it
