Pear Harbor, Hawaii 2011???

It was a good idea too, but I agree that the action should be darn sarf.

Not much up the other end either, here's a view of Loch Ewe eight years ago, and the fantastically named Isle of Ewe in the middle. Good for peace and tranquility but not for anything to do with the war (unless you're there for an exercise like I was!)

I knew nothing of it's position in history when I was there, other than it was a deep sea-loch. The navy had a few vessels in and out whilst I was there, and suffered simulated air attacks by Hawks and Tornadoes. Our job was to rebroadcast secure VHF from Melon Charles Barracks to Stornoway for the air defense guys surrounding the loch. One team from the Royal Artillery eventually set up next to us on our hill top and we got to play with their Rapier kit, including wazzing around the hill in their BV 206 for a laugh.

I've a few mates in the marines and they reckon the BV 206 is Gods gift when they're on arctic training.

I think drawing up a list of potential places to visit would be the first thing.

Lessee we have:

HMS Victory
Imperial War Museum
RAF museum (that has the Paratrooper museum too right?)

What else?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Old Royal Naval College, HMS Belfast, D-Day Museum, RM Museum, Mary Rose, for the RAF Museum did you mean RAF Museum Hendon or Imperial War Museum Duxford? (Paratroop and Airborne Forces Museum is part of Duxford

How long would it take to tour all that?
