Derek,

This was another Great video. I didn't realize that the old equipment was restored to that extent. The equipment looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line. My Father-in-laws favorite chapter was about leading up to D-Day, and the actual invasion. The two videos you have sent have made several veterans of WWll realize we will never forget their sacrifice. This IS a great Forum. :D :D :D

Derek, I also enjoyed the videos you sent and really appreciate the effort you made to get this to us!

The collection of military equipment was amazing! He must have a fortune tied up in that equipment. You can tell it's a real labor of love for him.

The D-Day footage was very moving. I've always had a fascination with D-Day because of the tremendous sacrifices and the size of the operation. It was truly a different world back then - in so many ways.

Thanks, again, Derek! :D
