Actually, I had teased Nick that I was going to post the trailer photo....In fact, he brought his bike here last Friday and we set off in BEF kit on Saturday doing a series of 'Then & Nows' from the furthest forward BEF positions this side of Leuven to the sea at De Panne (and back again, of course). We stayed two nights at Talbot House in Poperinge which was quite special. We covered just over 450 trouble-free miles with the two bikes on what turned out to be quite a wet trip.
Oh and I just spotted the 2 pounder. Would you believe.....Mine was made by BSA. :yum: Ron

We had a cracking tour....great riding and good company, with enough recognisable landmarks from the 1940 Flanders campaign to keep us focussed.
This was Asse where 15/19th Hussars effectively entered an ambush after Belgian troops on the right flank withdrew early. Neither Montgomery who was commanding 3 Div (of which 15/19H was Divisional Cavalry) nor Alanbrooke commanding 2 Corps ever admitted responsibility for this disaster.
We had a spot of assistance from the local Police in stopping traffic so that we could line up the next image...
The casualty lies buried in Asse. A Bombardier from an Anti-Tank regiment.
