NORMANDY D-DAY

Five (-ish) go on a Normandy adventure.

Put together five (-ish) chaps in 1943 Canadian Military Pattern truck full of WW2 radio equipment. Grab a handful of special call signs. A list of fantastic venues, all of which actually agreed to let us in! Enthusiasm by the bucket load and a merry band of followers around the world, listening. Powered by coffee by the bucket load, beer by the barrel load and croissants by the basket load.Sending radio waves back to England, Normandy D-Day for the Famous Five (-ish) will be an interesting adventure indeed!
