Thanks in advance

Philip,
You must know I have it, I plug them enough!

Not alot for you if you only want info on Wilts in Holland.
Just a few photos that are from IWM & their collection.
If you did buy it think of it as a donation to keep the Museum going.

Thanks for that Owen, a friend and I were interested to see if it had some nice info about 'The Island'
But maybe we buy a copy anyway to support the Museum
