I'll be at the 24, but the Classic looks very unlikely.  Good excuse to get to Spa again instead, although I might suggest we don't do the overnight drive again. I'll be at Spa and the 24 .... Barry, don't forget, in 2014 my new house will only be 1h25m to Spa. |

It depends if you're interested in the certain areas or the day in general, such a lot happened on one day I personally haven't read anything that comes close to explaining the whole thing in any depth, two that do spring to mind in general terms though is D-Day by Stephen E Ambrose & D-DAY 1944 voices from Normandy by Robin Neillands & Roderick De Normann. One of the best I have read though was about capturing & keeping hold of Pegasus Bridge ( a major feet in itself) which often gets overlooked by the more well known beach assault, this is also by Stephen E Ambrose. The whole things is a Fascinating story that I wouldn't believe if it were not true. Particular points of interest to look out for I think are ( but there are many many others) Pegasus Bridge Pont Du Hoc & the guns that were missing Hobart's funnies Harbour at Arromanche Merville gun battery Garbo the double agent Atlantic wall Falaise Gap Rommels wifes birthday & Hitler sleeping St Mere Eglise parachute |

I'm tempted. If you want to get the gist of it in a couple of hours, watch "The Longest Day", which has Hollywood accuracy |
