Wehave now travelled another 200 miles north to Normandy and we are just outside the coastal town of Honfleur (the weather is 15 degrees cooler here).

The first pictures are of the harbour at Honfleur a very pretty fishing village. Honfleur is on the opposite side of the river Seine to Le Harve.

The other pictures are of the Grand Bunker at Ouistreham just outside Caen. This bunker was a control tower for the German defence of the Atlantic Wall in the 2nd world war. The 52ft high concrete tower has been fully restored to make it look like it was on 6th June 1944. From the top looking through the range finder you have aview over the channel of a 25 mile radius. The picture of Howard standing in the landing craft was the original restored craft which was used in the film Saving Private Ryan.

The other pictures are at Pegasus Bridge and is the museum dedicated the the British 6th Airbourne Division who took the bridge on the night of 5th/6th June 1944 the day before D-Day.

It was also the scene of the Longest Day.

The glider is a replica of the type used for the landing on this night.
