more ww2 French

[Dave]

Hello

Still haven't come across any photos of engineers.

But I did come across some other stuff:-

Some French 75mm truck artillery from Morocco and Tunisia:-



which didn't seem to be very successful  . http://www.mvcgfrance.org/menu3/Dossiers/Dossiers1942Maroc.html

Maybe some new refugees are required:-


"A tandem bicycle carries a whole Belgian family of four with some of their belongings strapped to their backs, as they flee from the advancing Nazis into France, on June 14, 1940."

Or maybe some rural scenes:-


"The Royal Irish Fusiliers of the British expeditionary forces come to the aid of French farmers whose horses have been commandeered by the French Army. A tank is hitched to a plow to help with the spring tilling of the soil on March 27, 1940."

Both pics from here - http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2011/07/world-war-ii-axis-invasions-and-the-fall-of-france/100098/

Since when has it been ok to make 'funny' remarks about refugees?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good point, well made Steeleye.  I absolutely agree.

Support the motion of censure. Walk a mile in their shoes and find out how your sense of humour holds up.

Hello Dave

Just asked the designer foir this month to do

3 poineer - two in tunic, one greatcoat - pick, shovel and laying mine

AA guns and crew x 2

Dave

Could I ask  which AA guns you're making? Incidentally, more than enough information on French SPAA is available from http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=81476

I'm hoping to rig up something like these:-




I think my modelling skills can handle the rope to tie the AA gun to the chassis  .

I thought they were riding a bike?

I was going to make a comment.

But, instead I thought, why did they name a railway speed icon after a duck?
