    For those of us who couldn't attend, is there any way for us to obtain one of the limited number of really special copies (signed) of Tunisian Tales?

    Thank you Niall for a great afternoon at Duxford, together with the opportunity of meeting yourself and other members of WW2 Talk, alongside so many other familiar faces.

    With best wishes and good luck with your book.

    Had a great day and good to meet so many people from the forum. Thanks to you and Duncan for arranging it. A special vote of thanks must go to Clare who did such a good job with the Powerpoint.
    Looking forward to reading the book - again!! (but this time at a more leisurely pace)

    Just back after a long drive.....nice to see some old and new friends yesterday.....sorry if I didn't get to speak to everyone as long as I would have wanted but seemed to be in demand! I hope those who came liked the 'extra touch' of the veterans signatures!

    Not only that I had Oscar Touch in the sweepstake at work!

    10 Para weren't there mate. This was the 1st Para Brigade not the 4th.

    All the best.............:)
