What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Chris KC]

The location is on the D59 between Le Martinet and l'Affenadou in the valley of the Auzonnet, Gard. It's about 6km from Rekkers Towers.

Thanks Recks, not so far from there in fact.

Sad stories. The thing I recall about Vercors was the Allies were supposed to send reinforcements to back them up; on our say-so they started a 'second front' to draw German troops away from the Normandy landings. But in the event all the troops we had were needed for Overlord and the maquisards in the south were cut to bits (in some cases quite literally). And then followed the reprisals.

I occasionally stop off at St. Swithin's at Old Weston to pay my respects to a Canadian Hampden bomber crew who crashed there on a night training exercise in 1942, it just happens to be on my local country lane route and it doesn't hurt to spare the poor lads a thought.
