We spent a good bit of time around this area during our trip. Ranville was a pretty little town. I was pretty impressed by the Pegasus Museum. For such a small space, they've packed a lot in there. Merville was a great visit, too. (Shame on me for not getting to Varaville). This was a great chat. I really enjoyed it.

I have had the pleasure of conversing with Neil briefly a few years back as I was researching my Grandfathers history as a member of 9 Para. Its thanks to him and his willingness to converse that galvanised my own research. (I wont take it personally if you dont remember)<br><br>These episodes are fantastic and add another level to the knowledge and detail that I have been able to glean from Bob before he passed.

What a great presentation by Neil, and with a personal interest re my late father being a 9th parachute Battalion paratrooper. I am always amazed by Neils, knowledge, personal interviews, maps, photographs etc. Please bring Neil back if you can. Many thanks to you Woody, and of course to Neil
