 | Italy Trip May 2008 As some of you know, Owen and myself have just returned from a week in Italy visiting the WW2 battlefields of Anzio, Cassino, Minturno, Monte Camino, Ortona and the Sangro. No doubt we will flood the forum with reports and photos, but just a few photos to kick it off. First, this is the group of us who went, taken at Aquino aerodrome:  L-R: Iain McHenry, Owen, Meurig Jones, Gary Cooper, myself. Lovely collection of knees, eh?
