Im going to the 101st Airborne Division re-enactment days on saturday. I believe Mr Ton Carpenter is flying over in a Dakota so it has a touch of "Arnhem". O, and tomorrow Renkum Heath, also a dropping. Ron

Lofty, Hard to believe how much interests there still is after 68 years, but look forward to seeing all of you again this year... Hey Mr B Don't get a Bus PMSL:p
should get to Oosterbeek around noon on wednesday.staying at a mates house that was part of the perimeter. I'm a big bloke with a shaved head and an airborne T-shirt if anyone see's me and wants to say hello.....(narrows it down a bit!)
Hard to believe how much interests there still is after 68 years, It is still surprising the allure of the Market Garden operation has on people, I am still fascinated with the Medical input of the battle and thanks to writers like Niall Cherry has given me a better understanding of what the RAMC achieved in such awful conditions.

Do you have a copy of Stan's Story? It's about the wartime service of Stan Hope who was in 16PFA - he was killed at the road bridge and the efforts of a relative to find out what happened?
By the way, after a number of phone conversations with the tourist office at Ede I've established something that isn't documented on the internet. On Saturday morning there ARE shuttle busses from Ede-Wageningen station to the Ginkelse Heide.
Seems as good a place as any to ask the following.. Is it still possible to reach the top of the Church Tower in Driel? Just wondering if in passing I might be able to?
