Brilliant! Cant wait, this will be my 5th trip. I never realised they put the arch up so early. Has the work finished in the museum? Really looking forward to a cracking day!
Yes, the arch is there since a week or so, always very early. The Museum is finished, they were only mowing the grass today. Ron

Ron ,you better be careful now walking the streets, they are not Para's, but Airforce looking at there berets Are you sure, I thought it was the "Luchtmobiele Brigade"(Air Mobile Brigade) partly Airborne Guys. Here another pic, you can save it and zoom in on your computer for a better view. http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=279&pictureid=2453 Ron...
Luchtmobiele has red berets Ron,only thing could be that they are recruits, but they are not looking like any young guys
Luchtmobiele has red berets Ron,only thing could be that they are recruits, but they are not looking like any young guys Okay Philip, if you say that all parts of the brigade wear a Red Beret then you are right, but I am still not 100% convinced cause the Brigade consists of several regiments. I might be wrong though cause I don't know that much about it...but it are obviously not Para's then. Ron....

Hi Ron, have stayed many times at the conference centre in Wagegingen, but its all getting costly,so last year we camped, and the year before we were provided with a caravan, this year ? will sort out something, being there is a must in my book, so a get together is not out of the question, regards lofty

The whole month of September you can view the artwork "Resurrection" in Restaurant Kleyn-Hartenstein next to the Airborne Museum. Also known as the terracotta Airborne Army. A small booklet on this has been released last year, maybe it's still available at the exhibition or in the bookshops here in Oosterbeek. Anyway, worth a visit I think whilst you are here..... View the link below to get an impression of the Artwork.. airborne cemetery Ron....
