Were sat outside the Blue Boar Pub (the pub were the troopers used to drink) having a nice pint and then two jeeps ride by, all kitted out and looking lovely. Grab them and got talking and as if by magic it was Tim and his brother in law and family
Tim being a member of HMVF.......see pics below.The family and I also visted Littlecote House which was the headquarters of 506 PIR. The Americans must of been amazed by this historical house.............
Littlecote House main entrance, how many jeeps would of been parked out side of here

There is a good picture in many books of officers of the 101st sitting where we are standing
A small and the only bit about the 101st that I could find
Aldbourne green
HMVF card pinned outside Dick Winters billet
Not sure if this is the only piece of the Ramsbury airfield left but it looks wide enough to be the main runway, this where the 101st and I believe the 82nd left from for Market Garden
Tim, Neil and their families and mine............nice Jeeps!
Inside the Blue Boar
