Chris.

You didn't happen to get any pictures of the German KgF Cemetery while you were there did you? (My mother-in law let me down on this when she went there last year - "A fallschirm-what???" - I think I asked the wrong person!!!! )

Thanks.

Yes it was part of the 60th anniversary commemoration, attended by a lot of Vets and Cretan dignitaries

a greek airbourne regiment parachuted in (not all of them ), complete with smoke and explosions and low flying fighters
