Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

Very well known picture of the first British troops entering Belgium in 1940.

Here our (Jan, Rik, Lex) comparison picture



And an article in the excellent "After the Battle" magazin.



Have all the pictures in this series.

Cheers,

Lex

Yes Ron, and we need YOU too for the next comparison Pictures, probably march next year!









With about 96 Big 4's in 1940 we need every restored one we can use!!

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

Super effort, great that these places can still be found.
It's a nice repro Ron..

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

Yeah, don't forget yer tin 'at Ron !...and correct 1937 battledress. I expect to see pleated pockets and an unlined collar.

It's about time that someone turned up some images of abandoned outfits at Arras so that we could place some actual engagements. The trouble is that the British had stopped photographing and by and large, the Germans only took lots of photos once they'd reached the coast.

Mk1 Dingo owners are also welcome !

Hi Lex
any chance you could email me a larger (higher res) copy of the magazine article? I do the newsletter for the Norton Owners Club in NZ and if it is ok to use it that looks like something which would go well in there.
thanks
Iain.

Hello Iain,

The mag article is probably copyrighted, but can send you the pictures, and if you just use the text, there's not much of it anyway.

Cheers,

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

I've often though Lex. That if that licence number was on my car. I might be inclined to put a couple of strategic fixing bolts at the bottom of the first letter. Ron

Seeing so many BigFour's I wonder if there is any chance for me to get a passenger seat in June 2014?

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

I can get them made, no problem. But not sure if the spring guy has kept a pattern. So might need an original to copy. Ron

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

Send you a email Ron!

Re: Forum Picture, 4th RNF in Herseaux

In the winter I can take my forks apart, and lend you the spring, need an extra one too! but not sooner.
