    Picking the sprog up from a Cub camp at Caythorpe Court in Lincolnshire yesterday - found that one of the buildings, now named Arnhem Court (Or similar.... definitely Arnhem something), was occupied by 1st Airborne Signals immediately prior to Market Garden, and a Horsa fuselage used to stand for training purposes where we parked .

    Looks like they were rendering the courtyard walls on the day of departure and one soldier neatly wrote 'A Sec' (tion) in the render with a little parachute symbol above. This is now joined by a plaque commemorating the men and their actions.

    Touching stuff... but I failed the camera test and left the damned thing behind .

    Other half passed the camera test last week:
